The thousand dollars one line mistake - SBT + PlayFramework
After spending one day or two reading documents and many frustrated attempts to fix the issue, I ended up arriving at this Github - Spurious recompilation in multi-project build This was not the fix itself, however, gave me light by the end of the tunnel to understand the problem was indeed with the multi project setup.

Declarative Gradle is a cool thing I am afraid of: Maven strikes back
NOTE: I won’t mention SBT and Leiningen here because, with all due respect, they are niche build tools. I also won’t discuss Kobalt for the same reason (besides, it’s no longer actively maintained). Additionally, I won’t touch upon Bazel and Buck in this context, mainly because I’m not very familiar with them. If you have insights or comments about these tools, please feel free to share them in the comments 👇

How do i stop git bash from showing the time taken for each command
BTW, if you're curious, it appears OP is using this: https://github.com/sbt/sbt/releases/tag/v1.6.2 Pretty sure one of the executables is doing ANSI colours.

simplifying sbt with common settings
If you see the progression of documentation changes over the years pushing people towards multi-project style, and issues like https://github.com/sbt/sbt/issues/6217, hopefully you'd see that I've really tried to encourage people to use multi-project style from the get go.
