Details about the feature that this module disables on odoo/odoo@ad1b64a and a relevant fix on odoo/odoo@623ecff
According to the description of the so-called improvement, if the last five timesheets belong to the same project then that project is considered a favorite project.
Why five is anybody's guess but the real problem with this is that it induces errors. Inevitably the user will fail to change the project when the automatic selection is incorrect, and book time to another project. If the mistake is not picked before billing then the risk is that the client will do so and then good luck explaining why you are charging them for work done for others.
While the feature might work well for those working on one project at a time, a good number of professional services' users billing on hourly rates juggle between many assignments concurrently so the project that is filled automatically will often be incorrect thus not saving them time while adding the risk explained above.
