It doesn't work even with Climate Engineering unlocked

It does not work indeed, even with Climate Ingeneering researched. I think it only allows you to terraform non-colonized planets. So you can't do the trick of terraforming at the same time as building something else. The idea behind the technology is to allow you terraform planets you don't have a colonization technology for. I smtms do this when I go for science victory (researching something like Hyper PACs, Machine Bacteria or Adaptive Bureaucracies slows your science in the long run). It would be nice if it worked for your planets though, especially for cravers who could terraform and gain science for orbiting simultaneously.

As far as I know (never used the tech) it works only on planets in systems you don´t own any planet in. So basically you can only prepare a system for takeover.

I am pretty sure you can actually terrafrom within your system if you have not yet colonized some planets. Haven't done it in a while but I can't see myself using it for other purposes...
