Ok, I'll give you an update on the projects you listed above.
Kaohsiung World Stadium - still working on the foundation and basic support structure
Kaohsiung Arena - structural steel is completed with crews now working on the interior
Yida Fun City (my title not theirs) - work on the hotel and shopping complex is progressing, but the massive observation tower has magically disappeared from recent renderings.
Taipei Gate Twin Towers - MRT Songshan line is under construction but not the main structure of the building (nothing of significance will happen til the bus station moves).
Chiayi National Palace Museum - site planning and landscape prep work (lake)
Taichung Metropolitan Opera House - site planning but no prep work
Nangang Exhibition Hall - exterior completed
Taipei Dome - site planning
Taipei Stadium - foundation under construction
Kaohsiung MRT - red line almost completed - the smart money says it's operational before the presidential election in March
Taipei MRT Expansion - Neihu is slowly progressing, but it'll take an act of god to complete the project before the end of 2009.
The Xinyi Maglev - put on the back burner to die of neglect
Xinyi line - deep hole under Xinyi Rd. Wouldn't be surprised if the workers played cards most of the shift.
MRT circular line - talk but no action
Taoyuan Airport MRT - construction of the Cingpu depot, but nothing in terms of the actual line. If they strated construction today the line wouldn't open til at least 2013.
Nangang TRA/THSRC Station - under construction
* OT - THSRC is now averaging 50,000 passengers a day.
Songshan TRA Station - under construction
Shinkong Hotel Xinyi - nothing
Cathay Hotel Xinyi - nothing
President Hotel Xinyi - level five? structural steel
Lihua Xinyi - just about topped out
