Are project and dome bonus actions mandatory when you can afford them?

The designer rules the bonuses optional, which corrects a reading of the rulebook's wording on the engineer bonus.

Mostly yes. The designer says bonuses are not mandatory and you can skip one you cannot afford, and abilities and effects from projects or corporations are optional unless stated. The exception is the engineer, technician and scientist bonus of a Command action: it is part of that action, so to avoid it, use an astronaut of another colour.
