If we change project name, also should be changed grammar forms of project name:

'ukwikinews' => array(
    'uk' => array(
        'genitive'      => array( 'Вікіновини' => 'Вікіновин' ),
        'dative'        => array( 'Вікіновини' => 'Вікіновинам' ),
        'accusative'    => array( 'Вікіновини' => 'Вікіновини' ),
        'locative'      => array( 'Вікіновини' => 'Вікіновинах' ),
        'instrumental'  => array( 'Вікіновини' => 'Вікіновинами' ),
    )
 ),

[ Taking this bug ]

Hello,

Anatoliy, we don't have a configuration possibility as granular. The project name is the wgSitename variable, and a substantive.

See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgSitename.

Where exactly would you want to see those déclinaisons of project names?

[ Adding SieBrand as CC, so he can gets advice on how to achieve that. ]

At least genitive case is very important and many interface messages are using it e.g. statistics-edits now says "Кількість редагувань з моменту установки ВікіНовини" but should say after the fix "Кількість редагувань з моменту установки Вікіновин" and it's not the only example. Other cases are less important than genitive but should be setted too - as I remember while translating the interface at twn I saw messages with them.

Well, but in other projects grammar forms were added without questions, see
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13633,
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13854

https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=InitialiseSettings.php

There is nothing there with genitive etc in the configuration file now.

Changing the sitename is fine, as is namespaces. Though, for the namespace one would have to be the "default" and the rest would just be aliases..

But other projects have setted cased. E.g. Ukrainian Wikipedia. That's not for namespaces that's for the name to show correct in messages that use something like {{grammar:genitive|{{SITENAME}}}} (perhaps, I'm doing mistake in syntax now)
