Colony projects can be divided into two kinds: Ongoing conversion of a colony's Production output for either pollution, income, or export (industrial), or upgrading the planet's biome (terraforming).

Exports Production to the planet with the Interplanetary Administration structure in the system.
Terraforming is the slow process of altering the environmental characteristics of a planet. This changes weather patterns, stabilizes extreme temperature fluctuations, and adjusts the abundance of surface water. Terraforming will only work on planets that have hospitable environments already. You can terraform a planet several times, but each application has an increased production cost.
Upgrades Desert planets to Grassland-class by dramatically altering moisture concentration in different areas of the planet via artificial underground aqueducts.
The Gaia Transformation introduces genetically engineered microorganisms into a world to create an environment perfectly suited to both plant and animal growth. The transformation can only be applied to Terran environments turning them into Gaia-class worlds.
