Unless someone is having a nervous breakdown, or this is some kind of training project that they want to give everyone a "go" at, it's a crap idea. It's never a good idea.
Option A
Ask the resource manager for the template for the project handover that should be prepared each time personnel are replaced, and ask them what controls they have in place to ensure it's adhered to. Suggest that every time they do this, the project handover should be emailed to everyone with the notification of the change.
Option B
Tell them to call me, and for a small fee I'll sort them out.

Unlike Nigella Lawson's, however easy she is on the eye.

The project thing - every few weeks, not a good idea. There's a few possibilities in general why this might be done: your project is a nightmare, there are other projects, good staff say 'get me off this or I'll walk'; Other projects are more strategically important/time critical than yours; they're trying to get system knowledge across a large group of people; they're technically specialists in area but have become part of the core project team, but their specialism is needed elsewhere; budget says they're too expensive for the project. However, in the timescales you mention, it's still not a good idea.
