[Wannier] several questions about wannier calculation and settings

Hi.
 I tried to calculation anatase tio2 wannier center with wannier, but  came
to several failures with different error complains.

one question is about kmesh setting:
   when i use 3x3x3 (or 4x4x2) mp grids , wannier could generate data
tio2.nnkp without complain. But when i tried another mp grids such as 4x4x4,
wannier would complain  " kmesh_get: something wrong, found > 12 nearest
neighbours"  and exit without generating tio2.nnkp data file.   would you
please  explain what the problem it is related to ?   From mannual , i guess
this error is due to kpoints' shell, but i donot follow much idea about this
setting, would you please explain more about it ?

Just with(4x4x2 mp mesh) , successfully finishing pw2wannier calculation ,
but wannier.x calculation gave this complain: "param_read: mismatch in
tita.eig"  .  Does it mean scf calculation is not converged or wrong
parameters for wannier.x ?

another stupid question about projection setting:    the setting Nicola gave
for PbTiO3 in last mail  is according its band's structure , and the
projection functions are s/p type-like orbitals.  i wanna know   whether
there are some guidelines for setting up initial projection functions ?
