No.
Davide and Jason say that there is a bug: if you start Hanging Gardens when 
you want Pyramids the other players will at least know that you are building 
a wonder.

But if the Hanging Gardens is _already_ built, then your project is _not_ 
shown in the wonder dialog and the other players don't even know that you are 
building a wonder.

The solution is a simple patch for server/report.c proposed by Davide Pagnin: 
i have attached an updated version.
