I think a .project file is a one line file printed before the .plan.
Rather redundant.
But as far as becoming unreadable:  First, Unix files starting with
a period are hidden (won't display just typing ls -l) but they're
there, and you can edit them.  Also, once you create a plan, change
the protection on it by typing:

chmod ugo+r .plan

On my system (and many others too) if I don't do that, anyone who
fingers me will not see the plan, since I didn't authorize other
users in my group, and everyone else, to have read access to the
file.  Without read access, the .plan will not appear.
