there's your problem, your research projects defname is just TestPlant, you are looking for ResearchProject_TestPlant. 

I notice that your first post had ResearchProjects_TestPlant, and you've changed it to ResearchProject_TestPlant.  Did you change the defName in the researchProjectDef as well?  And no, you shouldn't need to change anything in the dll, but I will get the source code up soon.  In the mean time, if anyone is interested in the source, ILSpy works fine

IlSpy? never heard about this one

it's a real handy .net decompiler, can pretty much open it up, drag and drop a .net assembly into it and see all the codes.  ALL THE CODES!
