on principle


Explanation:
I think given the context, this solution would work nicely. In my opinion, they are saying that since no one's interests are harmed by the project, anyone who is against the project is opposing it ON PRINCIPLE [not because their interests are violated] and are working towards ensuring that it fails.

That is my take.
