Project Online Project Site - Adapt left hand navigation
Paul_Mather Thanks for your reply. However, I knew we never solved this programmatically, so I searched for an alternative. Your hint concerning the provisioning process lead me to the answer.
You need to activate the Project Web App Connectivity site feature beforehand on the site. Then the default Project lists are already created and the navigation entries are created. Now, you can delete the Navigation entries (or move them around) and save your template. During provisioning of new projects the new navigation will be kept.
This does not break the provisioning process (as long as you don't touch the lists themselves of course) and you can adapt the navigation without the process interfering.

Good catch TamaraF - I forgot about that as I've not touched Project Online for a while - most have moved away from it to Project for the web! I even documented about activating the feature here 10 years ago! https://pwmather.wordpress.com/2014/02/02/getting-started-with-projectonline-part-6-ps2013-office365-project-ppm-sharepointonline-pm-sp2013/
