If one goes with the latest edition of the MP then armageddon is not only inevitable, but it gets worse.
Sort of like the classic Butterfly effect scifi scenario.
Appalling nuclear war averted?
Fate gives you appalling nuclear war plus a planet killer meteorite.
So who ever knew about this dark fate would simply make their own plans and not try and either avert the apocalypse or for that matter the Project.
The Snake Eaters may have been an example of a poorly thought out government plan, to simply take over the project when it woke up. Krell perhaps a privately more organised and better thought through attempt.
The project may have been puttering around, getting ready for the apocalypse unaware or at some level unbothered it was very much a known quantity.
