I am not fond of this idea because the Project should have been able to prevent WW3 by using the stasis field like the Peace Authority did in Vinge's "The Peace War" by bobbling the crap out of the nuclear command and control systems of the superpowers.
Altering the flow of time in large controlled volumes is far more violating of physics than the canonical magic tech.
The ability to deform space-time like this implies control of stellar levels of energy.
It is using a gamma-ray burster to crack the nut of the 'Project storage problem'.
