He may have detected a loss in minerals and given your building to another player then back.



None.

It could just be the limit that its set too, like he only set it to 5 upgrades.



None.

You can use EUDs, but 4 upgrades must be read at once.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

no, because it should take some time untill it is researched because you cannot unset the finished research.

I'm using a timer with a length shortly less than the needed research time. Then just use 2 give actions directly after another to cancel the research (e.g.: give to p12 - give back to current player).
Detecting Ressource loss works, too.
