I tend to do your first approach and list the basic project types then a bunch of the general buzzwordy responsibilities which are typically common anyway and the odd project specific bits at the top of the list.

I think we can worry too much about the format. If an agent or recruiter want to find a reason not to advance your application, they'll find it. Just make sure you show you can do the job and have been successful in your roles? If the agent isn't interested in that, not sure that any amount of cv tinkering will succeed.
Disclaimer: I still haven't worked out how they make their choices anyway, so please disregard me!

A lot of the duties are common across the projects as they are standard PM tasks, some though are project specific.
I have tried both ways but seem to be quite long winded and muddled.
Any ideas appreciated, thanks.
