A new option could be added indeed. But currently 'g' after 'compile'
uses 'compilation-buffer-name-function' that can be configured
to generate a new buffer. So it's expected that 'g' after
'project-compile' should do the same and use
'project-compilation-buffer-name-function', especially
when it's configured to generate a new buffer.
IOW, I think these two 'compile' and 'project-compile'
should be in sync in regard to what 'recompile' does.

There is also a proposal to add the same option
to 'compilation-buffer-name-function' in bug#68697.

Actually I meant https://debbugs.gnu.org/68570#23
