I’m having hard time how to control the position of the Make2D result.
Simple geometry, parallel projection rectangle as a result of bounding box’ top face (yellow) yet the result comes flipped and off-centre
Is there a way to align them without going far into computing positions?

In this case you can do it like this.

That’s what I thought is going to happen - position manipulations (rotation, alignment) are required.
I always found Make2D little cryptic. Thanks for looking into it, you have found solution anyway.

There is a better solution, I think, should someone be interested. I figured it out on my way home.
Create reference line on a separate layer (path 0), then isolate it, and align geometry: projected to reference.
This should always work, regardless of the reference line - it doesn’t need to start at 0,0., whatever direction (as long as it is flat). In my case it is line at X direction that starts at 0,0.
