The idea is simple and comes mainly from the Subterranean origin.
In the idea, it is underground cities and etc. Hence for example the “−75% Orbital Bombardment Damage”. But in fact, this is not the case, if the planet is conquered. It disappears. If a planet is conquered, it gains this bonus.
The idea would be that each planet would have a Planetary Architecture style.
Each empire would have a default type of architecture which is assigned to a planet when it is colonized, except in cases of incompatibility.
We could change the architecture of a planet via a decision or a dedicated option, but this would significantly reduce the stability of the planet during the works. The cost and duration would depend on the number of districts and buildings built on the planet, cost reduction bonuses and construction speed.
Land architecture :
This would be the default architecture for most empires.
Subterranean architecture :
It would be the default architecture for empires with Subterranean origin.
