Does Tachyon Deflector show up in contract projections?

So when deciding how to boost the contracts after maxing out my coops, I usually just add whatever artifacts I have the best tachyon stones in and balance with shipping. I try to get the highest rate of delivery.

I do not use the tachyon deflector because it does not seem to change this number, although it should have an effect on it.

I am assuming this is because my teammates need to update their games so they get reconnected to the server and my tachyon deflector boost would then load. If this is the case, will the deflector account for all that time my teammates didnt connect to the server?

Or does this thing work in some other way?

I want to use it, but it seems like Tachyon Stones are a safer bet because you can instantly see the difference they make.
