I have the following situation: In a Project someone else has to do
something and I have to wait until that is finished. If it is finished,
then there are several TODOs. How do I that in a clever way? I.e. how to
write that future TODOs, so that they do not appear as TODOs now (e.g.
in the agenda) but only then, when the status of the project is changed
from WAIT (until the other person has finished) to a state where I have
to do something?

I typically handle this using the ordered property.
--------
* Project
:PROPERTIES:
:ORDERED: t
:END:
** VERIFY Task I am waiting on (I have a TODO state named VERIFY in my normal setup)
** TODO Task I need to do first (after waiting)
** TODO Task I need to do second (after waiting and after the do first)
-------
Note that on the VERIFY task I usually also have a person-based tag that tells me who it is that I'm waiting on
