This is less true than you'd think. The HGP was heavily criticized for sequencing all the "junk" DNA biologists didn't understand the function of. It turns out that "junk" has important functions we didn't know or even dream about. We might eventually have understood that stuff without the HGP, but it would have taken a lot longer. Sometimes you really learn more from one big, groundbreaking project than from a thousand little projects.
