FX bin only - you can repro a simple project like I outlined. It does the same thing. It opened funny when I tried to in X3D and he had zero presets for that plug setting. Kust tweak some settings and save the project. My buddy has the original project so I am not able to send it.
Well, as I reported above that's what I have done and it works here.
The ONLY way I can make it fail (lose the tweaked value) is if I load a preset from the SONAR preset menu

Mo matter what I do to the values, after saving they revert back.
However if I simply load a WAVES plug (any plug) and tweak the values, after a save the tweaked values are retained.
Finally, if I load a preset from the WAVES menu (on ANY Waves plug)

and I tweak the values, after a save the values are retained.
See the difference?
