Calling (project-current) might not be the best idea after every user 
command: e.g. it might not be cached, and sometimes not very fast (e.g. 
over Tramp).

The current design work off the idea of calling it only when the user 
explicitly calls a related command.

All project-* commands fall back to prompting for project directory, so 
it shouldn't hurt to enable those menu entries unconditionally.
