"Spring" imminent?
I like Spring or TA:Spring as well.
What TA actual stands for in the engine is less important IMO (as long as its not Total Annihilation for legal issues of course). You could use something like Thor's Asgardian Spring or Technically Advanced/Accomplished Spring Engine or something like that... Spring is nice though.

For those who like STeel Orchestra, I made this graphic, witch includes a spot to slap on an insignia (to the left of orchestra).

I personally like the name Spring/TA Spring; it has a nice quality to it that a lot of other names don't. However, i can see how this might not be very suitable for a massive RTS game, and a name like Spring might even be a hinderance to the adoption of the game by people who think it sounds kind of wussy.
Therefore, I propose a compromise.
Name the engine "Spring".
ala the "Spring engine".
And then name the actual game made with it something else.

I would also like to add the following list of suggestions of the name of the game:
Steel Orchestra <---- NO! This is teh BAD. It sounds too much like Red Orchestra and is too long.
Ok, now for the real, serious, names.
Project Spring
Conflict Command
Paragon
Forsaken Worlds
Forsaken Galaxy

About about 作 戦. Thats japanese kanji, read Sakusen, which means tactics, or strategy.
It is composed of two kanji:
作 - make; production; prepare; build
戦 - war; battle; match
So it literally means, to prepare for war. Or...preperations for war.
If you don't have kanji fonts installed you can see it written here...
Sakusen is the 3rd one down. Sorry, thats the only picture I could find of it.

Even though I like Core Prime:Resurrection, I think we shouldn't use nmaes from TA storyline in the name. As of yet, Spring has no storyline, and it probably doesn't need one.
Other names I could suggest:
Project Immortality
Spring: Infinity Wars
Spring: War of The Machines (hmm.. terminator again)
Variants on the "S.P.R.I.N.G."
Slow-Poke Robots Invading New Guinea (:P :D o_O)
Supreme Powers Reborn In New Galaxy
Secret Plot to Rebuild an Incomprehensibly Nifty Game (TA :) )

Spring is fine!
Steel orchestra: I dont like the idea of making the red orchestra community think we're copying, ro knowing that the very name of this belvoed project is an editation fo another projects name. Besides TA was never about musical instruments, I dotn see spring beign that either.
The Spring Project : This seems fine for now.
I dont see why you wanna change the name at all, if you do release your own game based on this engine you can change the name then but for now this is just Spring, any new names should be given to Mods and games based on the engine. Besides Spring has so much hidden depth in it if you read between the lines (letters in this case).
Eitherway just make sure the final name doesnt sound like an FPS addon

Well, the more I think about it.
The more I think about it, I think the name shouldn't be about a theme, or about TA. It should be simply stating the game as a strategy singularity. TA was the greatest RTS ever. It was unique and incredible.
So just think of a name that doesn't talk about plot, or setting, or anthing else. Just that conveys the concept that "This is the One True RTS".
Things along those lines:
War Zero (or WarOne heheh, kinda like PalmOne)
Prime Combat
Machinamentus Rex (bastardized latin for Machine King)
Combat Complete
Final Strategy (like Final Fantasy, but not).
Maestro Online (or simply any generic term for command + "online"... like Commander Online or Strategion Online)
Even just going with the generic term RTS + some generic term for singularity, identifying the game as the one and only.
