Asgard is the only one whose defenses might be sufficient to merit the investment - Heavy and Medium defenses aren't enough to protect the significant investment in orbital industry that a Large Shipyard represents. Remember that the standard thing that tends to happen during any significant invasion is that the invaders plow their way through the orbital defenses, wreck up the orbital industry, and then land their forces.
The other problem comes in that we have a lack of qualified labor to even begin this project. It would take 25 years for Avernus to make a Large Shipyard, and word of durin is that it'd take more for others.
Rather than waste a sound out, how about we just go to the council meeting and first hear out what the other worlds are planning on doing and what their own status is first?
What's being voted on isn't upgrading ALL of the defenses, now, it's the start of the long term project of upgrading all of the planet's defenses by starting with two of our hives. The actual maintenance costs for upgrading these two cities is actually affordable. By the time it's completed we'll also have expanded our factories again to increase our Material output, and there aren't any projects of comparable cost currently available. We also have a council meeting at the end of this turn, and we can arrange to buy Material from Muspelheim and/or Svartalfheim during the trade deal.
You can't expedite this. This is a recruitment action. Expedite can only be used on something that involves construction of buildings or ships or things like that.
You can't double down on this. The cost is Free, and Double Down means "spend twice as many resources on it", so you can't double nothing.
