My experience with some projects shows, that a duration_correction_factor on project level can cause trouble when the application changes and the relation between rsc_fpops_est and the actual required fpops changed for that new application.

It would be better be by application.

I agree with this opinion.

It probably would be better by application, however at the time it was implemented it was decided that doing it per application had a prohibitive cost/benifit ratio.
