To me that still sounds like a transformation, not the set up for further transformations. Also, shouldn't we be doing some of the big more complicated things as research instead of a design? Researching stuff makes them easier to do and gives us a better idea of how far we are pushing after all.

The plasticity of the brain will allow transformations further outside the norm. It will make it easier to adapt to them, so those bugs won't actually appear. We'd get other bugs in that case, but the plasticity with the other two should result in lowered difficulty in all cases anyway, so it's good. The body and mind are readied to undergo transformation. As well, that plasticity makes it easier to learn/adapt, which is something adults lose normally. Callback to the Rite of Childhood and drawing from that. And opening the option to draw from both a primary and secondary trait in transformations.
Designs tend to have bigger exp impact, so research would tend to be for the really big stuff. Dire versions don't count, and these three designs means that in most cases, single species transformations also don't count so long as they fit.

Well, it doesn't actually mention any specific transformations. It's a design that does nothing but hang large red blinking lights around a sign that reads 'I'm going to mutate the shit out of everyone later'.
Quick Edit: To clarify, the way I see this there is no transformation included. However, you're setting it up so that future transformations are linked back to this Heritage Ritual.
