Luzon costs a lot more than 16. There's a quirk in the game mechanics that means the true cp cost is only reported AFTER you get 1.00% accepted bureaucrats. When you have less, it will report the base value. Cost is determined from the number of provinces, and the distance from your capital. Basically, take the base value (let's say 4), multiply by the number of provinces (let's say 4), then multiply by the distance penalty. The distance penalty maxes out at 300 per province.
You can edit the distance penalty in the defines.lua file, but this can result in France and Britain spamming states all over the place. Look for the following values:

Code:
COLONIZATION_CREATE_STATE_COST = 300,
COLONIZATION_CREATE_PROTECTORATE_COST = 5,
COLONIZATION_CREATE_COLONY_COST = 4, -- per province
COLONIZATION_COLONY_STATE_DISTANCE = 400,- 1
