re-import of existing Maven projects when adding new projects to workspace

On Eclipse 2024-09

I am working with multiple Maven projects all part of a hierarchy.

I am importing the first Maven project successfully.

When I import more projects I am noticing the "Import Maven Projects" task running on already imported Maven modules.

This becomes a major headache on large projects with large number of modules, slowing down Maven projects import and overall work.

Why is this happening?
Can it be corrected?
How?

This seems to be quite related to #1670 since unnecessary permutations are performed but I don't think it is identical.

Creating a project structure with large enough number of modules to reproduce the problem is going to be difficult but perhaps worthwhile, unless anyone can think of specific examinations to perform.
