We need to define more steps about logo generation and webpage creation.

Also, since all of these things are within the project's control, I suggest shrinking it down to a shorter time period (3 months max, preferably 1) so once accepted, they immediately complete onboarding.

This spot is for items that happen before the TAC approval, so logo/webpage don't apply. Also, the lifecycle isn't the right place to define those anyways; we already have this listed on onboarding page which has all those items identified.

Based on my experience of onboarding tons of projects over the years, 6 months is more reasonable and the better indicator of whether a project is "failing to launch"; 1-3 months is too short.
