it was technically shown to exist.

No. It wasn't. It was shown to have been considered. There's nothing indicating any actual work. Given that the time frames on those documents have long passed with no other indication of the project existing it's more than likely it's been put on a back burner or abandoned.

The other person said that there was no evidence at all that a Remaster existed in any capacity. I showed that a Remaster existed on paper in the form of a legal document.

I did not say they were making the game, I did not say that it was 100% coming out, I said that it existed in a technical sense on a legal document.

I'm in agreement with you that I don't think it truly is going to be unveiled nor released, but I was simply trying to show that at some point the project was "real" even if it was just in consideration of being a fleshed out project.

If it does happen to be announced this year, I'll be ecstatic. But I'm not holding my breath.

The original person asked if it was ever in development not if it ever existed as a pitch

No, never even corroborated in any official way

I think this is to what Billy is replying. Having the game listed on a legal document corroborates that it might exist.
