Many a new arrival these days after the project launch of the Nutritious Rice for the World project , so the first custom graph showing which project gets/got what part of the crunching pie had the 'editors cut' applied. White labels, active project, Black labels, inactive or completed project (see table appended at bottom of dates).
----------------------------------------There are many more graphs that were also given a makeover. E.g. the science specific charts were 'pimped' with an image background of a picture taken from the Research pages. Find those Supplemental graphs here in the Start Here (Read Only) FAQ forum. Enjoy (and please do read for your own education)

AFAIR, hpfp2 was intended to get finished by the end of 08 - according to your calculation, it will take about 4 years longer. What is the reason of this? Did we get additional work or does the increasing demand of computing power from other subprojects slow down hpfp2 that much?

I know that they keep coming up with more experiments to try for FA@H, but I'm not sure about HPF2.
----------------------------------------HPF2 was one of the old UD projects. After conversion to BOINC, they can pick from any of the current projects. That's probably what's going on. Looking at Sekerob's graphs (referenced in his SIG), the daily run time for HPF2 is only about half of what it was in April. It is possible that it could be a rice project splitout, but there's enough work for everyone at the moment.

Hey SEK, congratulations again !
----------------------------------------great graphs demonstrating the big picture status of WCG projects. HPF2 and FA@H, appear be the largest projects by now. I think that if scientists and techs get a way to reduce the work units crunch time for both projects (maybe HPF2 by half time, and maybe FA@H by one third of actual time), this expectancy to be completed will change for early dates. In my opinion, both project are the WCG most hard time consumers of crunch time, specially for old computers plugged in WCG. In the HPF2 case I got some WUs spending about 17 hours to finish, using a P4... I rear some WCG friends unchecking those projects due similar concerns, but I am not sure if really happened some reducing impact trend in terms of total crunchers for this projects. It is just my considerations, maybe wrong, and probably SEK and other crunchers could explain bether what really happens. Good night ! Regards. Giba. 
Cheers ! GIB@

Did we get additional work or does the increasing demand of computing power from other subprojects slow down hpfp2 that much? That's meantime old news. Piles more experiments were added for HPF2. The protein folding studies are intended to continue through 2012. Similar to FA@H with it's detailed status page the same was asked for this project. Follow the links through the Research page to find latest news. Why HPF2 was high (HCC too) in April was because the other projects (DDDT&FAAH) were slowed down for the well publicized switch of the software to be ready for the future BOINC 6 client. Mostly a better and stable graphics API was incorporated to allow display in whatever installation version. In service install no one but after applying a 'work-around' could see graphics as was BOINC's screensaver use on Vista completely impossible. That's all fixed in upcoming BOINC 6 (still in alpha testing at Berkeley developers). Obviously a new 'time limited' project eats into other long running projects in the beginning, but also brought in thousands more new crunchers. Choice brings volunteers and hopefully holds them, and surely with 'the badge' a group will have temporarily changed their focus.
