After changing settings in your general preference (which propagates to all your projects) on the web site, do a manual update of the project in the Projects tab of Boinc Manager for it to take immediate effect.

Don't try to micromanage Boinc it, does best when left to do its own thing. It has a very good algorithm to follow your project share and still return work on time. It may not seem like it on the short term but it will follow your guidelines in the long run.
