If you read the game text, there's a lot about how Shirou's projections only break when he "loses the image of it". That is, when the image (of the perfect NP) in his mind diverges from reality and thus the reality (projected item) fades.
The example given was Noble Phantasm with the property "doesn't break". If this projection breaks, then in Shirou's mind, clearly he didn't project it properly, thus it has diverged from his image and then it fades. Note that "breaking" and "fading" are not used synonymously here.
Rin talked about regular projection as well and she mentions in passing that they don't last long. Therefore, those kettles, even though they're just hollow shells, can't be regular projections. When Rin saw them, she was shocked since they're definitely not regular projections.
Keep in mind that while Shirou has affinity with swords, he still is able to project some other things (that aren't too complex).

...what about Rho Aias? Not a sword, but a bronze shield. Surely for that to actually work and defend against Gilga's assault would require some complexity.
But then again, it does cost 3x the mana usually required for a sword-based noble phantasm...
