Thought I had an additional issue. ‘screen_function’ wasn’t getting reached. The theme was ALSO creating a menu item with the same slug.

Solved.

I have tried the code above, here:

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'content_setup_nav_profile' );
function content_setup_nav_profile() {
	bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
		'name' => 'projects',
		'slug' => 'project',
		'screen_function' => 'XX_bp_projects_screen',
		'position' => 20,
		'default_subnav_slug' => 'project',
		'item_css_id' => 'projects',
	) );
}

function XX_bp_projects_screen() {
    // We never get here for some reason
    add_action( 'bp_template_title', 'XX_bp_projects_screen_title' );
    add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'XX_bp_projects_screen_content' );
    bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
} //end function
function XX_bp_projects_screen_title() {
	echo 'Projects<br/>';
}
function XX_bp_projects_screen_content() {
	echo 'Dummy Content<br/>';
}

The icon shows, in the row with the others.
Yet, it never launches the function listed under ‘screen_function’, XX_bp_projects_screen()

I’m perplexed..
