I now do my messages last but I have started to wonder why my intel projects fail against a races with next to no intel points?? Is there a similar bug which affects Intel projects?

There are three possible reasons for intel projects to fail:
1) It was blocked by counterintel. Keep in mind that counterintel can be built up during an empire's height and saved indefinitely as long as it isn't being depleted faster than it's being generated. In a worst case scenario, you could have to wade through 12 nearly full Counter Intelligence 3 projects before seeing any success, which would take near 21.6 MILLION intelligence points of offense, not counting further intel defense produced while you're trying to wear it all down.
2) You tried a Puppet Political Parties project and didn't get lucky. This project, and this project only, has a 50% (I think) chance to fail even if counterintel fails to block it.
3) There are no valid targets. If, for example, an empire has been so badly beaten that it has no ships at all, Crew Insurrection projects used against that empire will all fail. This will usually produce a log message that simply states that the project failed, rather than saying that it was blocked.
