And yet the published a 900+ page document outlining (almost) all of the awful thing they want to do.

A weird self own.

There's actually more they haven't published yet, an entire core pillar's worth of the project 2025 platform. Despite having read a fair bit about project 2025, somehow I keep finding new horrible things that are part of it

From a letter signed by 35 representative addressed to the Heritage Foundation

Project 2025 would appear to honor the promise on your website about being “an open book, with our materials available online,”1 except for one glaring problem: the entire “Fourth Pillar,” the “180-Day Playbook” which you describe as a roadmap of comprehensive, concrete, early actions for each federal agency, remains shrouded in secrecy.

You have conspicuously declined to publish or disclose any of the prioritized early actions that we believe would obviously be the most important parts of Project 2025. The immediate executive orders, emergency declarations, presidential directives, and other measures are likely to have profound impacts on the American people and their government. Therefore, we believe it is overwhelmingly in the public interest for you to actually keep your “open book” promise by disclosing the “Fourth Pillar” of Project 2025, and we hope you’ll consider explaining why, unlike the first three pillars, you have been keeping it secret for so long

Hence the “almost”. That fourth pillar must be a doozy…

As if anyone thinks it won't be something absolutely absurd.

Hey, remember 9/11? War on Terror, Patriot Act, TSA?

That was snoozeville.

See it differently: what got leaked is the stuff they thought could leave a paper trail. So the other stuff is even more extreme.
