How does Project Service close a project technically?

How exactly does the closing of a project work?

I see a plugin working 'stuff' on the BPF, there is no 'Run workflow' item in the menu, there is no deactivate button available, triggering a workflow on a field change to deactivate, fails. 

Getting a bit frustrated by the lack of possibilities to just close a project, preferably without the BPF.

Does anybody know how this is dealt with?

    Hi, I am also getting a BPF plugin error when trying to close a project. Did you figure out the issue?

    Walking through a project in BPF on a plain new 9.0 (PSA 2.1.30) environment results in the same error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object. If you contact support, please provide the technical details.', when trying to move from Complete to Close. What's missing?
