Depreciation is never relevant because it is not a cash flow. Finance charge (i.e. interest) is never relevant because it is accounting for in the calculation of the WACC.
Direct costs are always relevant because they are extra cash flows.
The others may or may not be relevant depending on whether there is an additional cash flow as a result of doing the new project.
