What nobody seems to have suggested is that you can create an empty

building a plain vanilla applescript product.
I don't think you can do this in any reasonable way. Sure you can
get PB to compile a script into your target somewhere, but it won't
run or debug it without some C code to get things started. Or have I
missed something?
I don't know the solution to these problems, but I can thinks of two
things to investigate that might help solve them. First, project
builder has something called an "OSA Debugger". I don't know
anything about it, but it seems to be available as an alternative to
gdb for debugging a project's product. Which debugger is used is
part of the definition of a target in a project. It might be usable
for stepping through and debugging a compiled script. Second,
another part of the definition of a target lets you associate an
executable with it which is launched for purposes of debugging the
product. You could launch an application like Script Editor to debug
your script, or you could launch the executable file for the command
line command "osascript". However you end up arranging for the
script to be debugged, the necessary target features could become
part of whatever template you utlimately create.
