Internal web services (meaning, those which were designed for Project Pro
and PWA) are not recommended for use by 3rd party developers. Those web
services are for the internal use of the product, and they can be
changed/removed in any release without warning (this is documented quite
well, I believe). The public web services will follow correct procedures
for changes and deprecation in future releases. I recommend you stick with
only the public web services to take advantage of these benefits.

As described in Internal PSI Web Services
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms774496.aspx), some Web services
are for internal use only and are not documented. The only reason we listed
the methods for the PWA, View, WinProj, and Authentication Web services was
to help avoid confusion when you are using the Shared Service Provider URL.
For example, you can see the internal View Web service (
http://ServerName:56737/SharedServices1/psi/view.asmx ) just as easily as
you can see the SSP URL of the generic Project Web service
(http://ServerName:56737/SharedServices1/psi/project.asmx ). Third-party
developers can use the direct SSP URL of the Project Web service when
writing impersonation apps, but are warned not to use the internal Web
services.

The View and other internal Web services are not for third-party use, and
are not supported, for a variety of reasons, including: The method
signatures are likely to change with service packs and updates. Some
parameters require other internal Project Server libraries. There are
limitations on the methods that can easily cause exceptions or corrupt other
data if parameters are not exactly right. Some parameters require data in
undocumented binary formats. Some methods work only with elevated
permissions.
