Ah dude, a case of canon-breaking and being too similar in the backstory. That's a tough situation.

My best guess is to make the CEDAR Project a classified operation instead that neither the military nor the government were aware or involved. Basically it was an unauthorized, under the radar project.

As for how it got terminated, perhaps the military or government started catching on and therefore, required everything to be destroyed without a trace of evidence it ever happened.

The forcefield is a touchy subject. Perhaps you can drop it altogether and just make her durable as hell, making Cedar return to her creator for the occasional repair job.
