Actually each counter intell project will only work against one intell project. Even though it looks like it takes a lot of points to run a counter intell project as soon as you have put enough points into it to counter that first intell project it stops and gives you a message that it stopped that project. That is why you need more than one counter intell project running at once. Your project could look like it will take 4 or 5 turns to complete but all of a sudden it will be over once it counters an opponents project and you are left without counter intell. So if multiple projects are run against you then you have to run multiple counter intell. You will know when you need it especially on those turns that 5 or 6 projects go off against you all at once. The AI seems to run a lot of projects simultaniously so a lot can hit you at once. The worst is when you have 3 or more AI targeting you at once with intell (mega-evil time again).
