I think that once a project gets approved by ABP, then it proceeds. Objections after that can only for compensation, not to stop the project.

There also needs to be a requirement for objectors to have some legal standing. If I am not local to the project, then I would need to substantiate my basis for objecting.

If a project goes directly to ABP, then a limited time for objections to any conditions imposed should be allowed, but only to those of standing as above.
