Interesting idea...
I have a lot of projects with waiting for actions with a future start date.
Every day I go through my waiting for context with the available actions filter on. For actions that I need to push into the future, I change the start date so that it disappears from my waiting for context.
Monitoring my projects to make sure the start date matches the actions start seems like more work to make the software work.
I could change how I work with waiting for items, and never have a start date for the waiting for items.
My approach to using OF with GTD is to not show actions that I can do nothing about and processing buckets until they are empty (inboxes, contexts)
Every day I go through my available waiting for list, and process that list until it is empty. If a waiting for item needs more time, I move the start date into the future.
