For the challenge of not being able to save a "snapshot" of a BP box project plan in time, why not just use What If Scenario? You can create a new scenario, save it as a certain date and as long as changes aren't made in the scenario, it will hold. BP standard only allows 1 public scenario per box and I believe 1 additional private scenario per user per box. BP Enterprise may be unlimited scenarios.

Yes, exactly this answer we got last year directly from BigPicture vendor support (I'm using BP enterprise with unlimited scenarios) :)
I think it is really that MSProject-centric working mode that has become so dominant over the years which makes it hard for users to take one step back and think what is really convenient for a scheduling tool. Also, this is very much top-down classic waterfall planning.
Though, I agree with missing features for saving a certain state of the plan within the tool which is very much important to compare to the last agreement (e.g. with customer). One nice feature would be to have a "ghost" overlay that can be visualized, showing a previous baseline.
Also preserving a certain state of the box structure (WBS!) is a feature I heavily miss.

It's a solution we recommend sometimes, but it's not perfect. For one, you can't conveniently compare it to the production plan.
