the route is above a mineshaft!!!!
You've cleaned and bolted the route. i think you would have done enough to claim the route as being yours, just as though you have drilled 10 bolts + lower off, and that people should respect your intention to want to get the FA, no doubt about it.
How have your marked it so that others know its an ongoing project?
The same goes for boulder "projects" how would you mark those as being an ongoing project?
I'm not aware of anyone that would go out of their way to climb anyones "project" either.
good luck getting a belayer, and on the climb.
