OK, actually the more I wrote the more I began to sense that might be the case. But that still brings me back to the question: Why would the project proposers want to do this?
I think this is an easy sell to the consumers, the Squeakers who are the potential users and beneficiaries of a project. More information earlier is always a good thing. But how is this sold to the producers, the ones doing the work? What is the upside for them?

Hi Ken -
Sorry for being unclear. I absolutely agree with your point about people doing their projects until they feel it's ready. As a matter of fact I think that pretty much all BPPs should be about stuff that's ready to go (see my example which already pointed to the code). I do not want empty upfront commitments; I want to be able to have the board make decisions about concrete work that is there and available to look at.
Cheers,
