If I create a project (C-c c and press 'p' for Project) in the
project.org file, I would like the project to automatically inherit a
few properties like: Purpose, Outcome, Todo's and also date when the
project was added to the list.
How can I configure my .emacs file to achieve this?
I currently have:
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "~/org/gtd.org" "Tasks")
"** TODO %?\n %i Added:%U")
("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree "~/org/journal.org")
"* %?\nEntered on %U\n %i\n %a")))
Also: I would be interested to see how others implement natural
planning model in org-mode (I am currently reading Charles Cave's
write-up on this)
Thanks.

I do something similar; I used to use a nearly full David Allen Natural
Planning but now have simplified it and use the “As <personal role>, I want
<goal> so <reason>” Mad-Libs style.
I have the following as my Project capture:
("P" "Proposed Project"
entry (file "~/Documents/OrgMaster/org/refile.org")
"* PROPOSED %?\n%U\n** Project Definition\n%U\n- Summary\n + As <personal
role>, I want <goal> so <reason>\n- Completion Criteria (Don't do too
much)\n + \n"
:clock-in t :clock-resume t)
The key point is that you can put “\n” into the string for new lines, and
spaces after the “\n” for indentation.

For the last bit I use org-expiry.el with a little glue.
The idea I wanted to implement was that when a TODO/PROJECT item was
created, a property with the current date should be inserted
automatically. The main feature I was looking for was creating a list
of incomplete items sorted or grouped by that date.
org-expiry.el contains the function, 'org-expiry-insert-created', to
insert a 'created' property. To have that work the way I
wanted it I added an advice to two functions. One to
'org-insert-todo-heading' to have the created property inserted when
creating an new todo heading. The other advices 'org-capture' to do the
same when capturing new todo items.
The snippet which does the above is here:

I like this one:
