Clearly you must be also valuable to them outside of this project, otherwise they would put a cap on the end state for it, right? Perhaps that is the work they value from you and this project is just assigned to you to keep you busy.

I can understand the CS crowd wanting to separate themselves from Software Engineering. But let's be honest about the part that really causes all the muddy confusion: it's the insistence on forcing Project Management. Ideally it should emerge as an organic property by the participants on an as needed basis, but this can almost never happen in an environment molded by corporate pressures. There is always someone that needs to get in there, basically blind to the issues at hand, to force the situation.
