Restrict Standard License (program manager) from Updating Project Completion Date

With the updated Light, Contributor, & Standard License, I now have Program Managers going into jobs and adding tasks (which I have figured out how to disable) and updating the project completion date (which I cannot figure out without changing the license). The light license is too "light" and therefore they cannot complete tasks which I need them to be able to do. We cannot have dates and timelines being changed without approval. How do I fix this?

I'm not on the new license types yet but it sounds like it's a permission based thing where they have manage access to the project which allows full access. You can typically limit access through the projects/templates or in the sharing permissions.

For the OP's reference:

Project permission options

The following table lists the permissions that users can grant when sharing a project.

I can't seem to locate where you can address permissions system wide - do you have to do this on every project that gets assigned out?
