It does not consider the whole project PDC for monitoring and recording. It does for playback, but not for monitoring. Like a parallel, quick path to the speakers.
I tried sending directly to a hardware out in REAPER to no good.

Well, "Standards" are different between DAWs...

In case all audio is processed in real time, plug-ins with delays on any track by default affect total PDC for all tracks. So there are "Disable PDC", "Reduced Latency", etc. options.
In REAPER, all playback tracks always have effective PDC absolute zero. They never influence recording/monitoring tracks latency. So there is no related option to make it zero temporary.
But as mentioned before, check that you have not EXPLICITLY asked to monitor with delay. That can happened if:
a) you have plug-ins with delays in the track(s) you are recordning
b) you have plug-ins with delays in the monitoring FX chain
c) you have sends from recorded track(s) to tracks with plug-ins with delays, effectively making these tracks work in recording mode as well.
If you want REAPER ignores users explicit wishes and start isolating recorded tracks on its own, I guess majority users will disagree that is a good feature
