This suffers from the same issues I highlighted on T1634. I would advise to focus only on T1634 for now and get at least one right before spreading the work on more.

Also it's not quite what I'd want as a user. You're focusing on when as a user I create the project, but it's not what matters. If the template creates me a bunch of tasks with wrong due dates that I need to hand edit everywhere, why have a template in the first place?

What I want is to be able when I create a template to say:
Task X in the template will have it's due date at one week before the due date of the project.
Then, later, when I create a project based on the template I will be asked what is the due date of the project (let's say I pick 2016-02-24) and the newly created Task X from my template will have an effective date one week earlier (that'd be in that case 2016-02-14).

That's at least two different stories by the way.
