You don't think WWII, viewed as a government project, met its goals? Ok.
I don't have a specific system, Bruce. I weigh each projects on the various merits -- recognizing that something I think is a merit may not be something everyone thinks is a merit -- and I make my own decision.
Of course it's subjective. EVERYTHING is subjective. I tend to think that if a government program is in the black, or close to being in the black, and helps a lot of people that's good. You have different views. That doesn't make it arbitrary, nor does it make it irrelevant, it simply makes it not yours.
