I hate a cheat

The Phong pop a colony ship through the wormhole, and colonize a planet. I happen to have a fleet right there, so I detach a bomber and head over to remove him from his newly acquired planet. They have not had this planet for one full turn even.

What do I find?
2m population, which is fine, glad to see the AI is smart enough to not use full colonizers.
and a resupply depot..... HUH?

That is totally bizarre. Are you sure you're looking at the correct planet, and it has really been < 1 turn?
Seriously, this type of misunderstanding happens often.

Well, giving the AI a bonus at startup is essentially a cheat, you give it 2X, 3X, or 5X the resource, research and intel income. But they shouldn't alter construction rate. This is the stock Phong, right? 'Tho I've never altered racial chateristics to get 1 turn resupply depots either.
