Currently on uninstall 'field_project_type' will be deleted. There is a note questioning if this is the correct behaviour. In my personal use case, I don't want the Project module to delete the field as I am still planning on using the field and it's data, just not the Project module.

Patch attached simply checks if the field has data before deleting; if it does, doesn't delete.

Sounds reasonable, committed.

I'm not sure this is a good idea. For one thing, it means that using Devel module to reinstall a module will crash.
