Would I be disappointed if my project got cancelled? Yes. I think it would be a missed opportunity for my employer to make a meaningful change in an important space.
Am I fearful of it being cancelled? Absolutely not. I'll just find a new gig and move on with my life.
Last time my (much more commercially-focussed) project got canned, I had four very exciting offers lined up within a few weeks. All of those internal and within my very tight geographic constraints (couple of cities in Europe). I didn't even bother interviewing with other companies as I felt no need.
In the end, the cancellation turned out to be a great thing for me personally as it forced me to move. In the process of that move I found the current -- much more fulfilling -- gig.
Much as I love it, at the end of the day it's just a job. There are plenty of other opportunities out there if I ever need to find a new one.
