The problem is because the project table doesnt have the same GUI as the standard crafting table for which NEI's ghost recipes are designed for. The crafting area was moved over a little to make room for the Plans slot and it not look so lop sided.

You just have to wait for either NEI or the project table's GUI to be changed to accommodate the other.
