I just closely scrutinized what happens at the end of Production project. Unlike other games where the excess at the end of a project gets passed onto the next project in the queue, in Civ V it appears that the excess simply gets thrown away. That means if a city is pumping out 100 PPs, but the project is finished after just 2 PPs more, those other 98 PPs just get wasted.
I can see a certain logic that says, "If you check and see that there will be overflow, just reassign workers to other things, like Food growing or Research Specialists!" But that suggestion means that players MUST micro-manage EVERY city, or suffer the consequences of failing to do so -- which I think is bogus.
At a minimum option, excess PPs should be converted to cash, just like when you are informed that someone else completed a Wonder you've been working on. But what I believe really should be done is just do like everyone else and rollover excess PPs into the next project in the queue. After all, the Project Manager has years to see The End Is Near and shift those excess resources to the next job on his work order.
