TODO shoudn't the operator that projects parallel to the hypersurface be the symbol $\top$, or even better, the parallel symbol $\parallel$, and not the perpendicular symbol $\perp$ ? Shouldn't the component that is perpendicular to the hypersurface by the perpendicular symbol $\perp$ ?
This means all the mainstream numerical relativity literature symbols of $\perp$ and $\top$ are mixed up. It also means that if I were to adopt the corrected convention that the perpendicular $\perp$ symbol is the component perpendicular to the hypersurface that I would have to swap them in my own worksheets.

For this worksheet, $\nabla$ and ${\Gamma^a}_{bc}$ will refer to the Levi-Civita connection.

Let manifold $\mathcal{M}$ have dimension n and be spanned by basis elements $e_u \in \{ e_1 ... e_n \}$
Let hypersurface $\Sigma$ be a subset of our manifold, spanned by coordiante basis operators $e_i \in \{ e_1 ... e_{n-1} \}$.

Let $n_a$ be the hypersurface normal proportional to $e_n(x)$ (where the subset n denotes the n'th dimension).

Let $\alpha$ be the normalization proportion factor such that:
$n_a = -\alpha e_a (x^n)$ (for $x^n$ the n'th coordinate)
...for a coordinate basis where $e_a (x^b) = \delta_a^b$...
$n_a = -\alpha \delta_a^n$

Let $n_a n^a = -1$
Therefore:
$-1 = \alpha^2 g^{ab} e_a (x^n) e_b (x^n)$
$-\frac{1}{\alpha^2} = g^{ab} e_a (x^n) e_b (x^n)$
$-\frac{1}{\alpha^2} = g^{ab} \delta^n_a \delta^n_b$
$-\frac{1}{\alpha^2} = g^{nn}$
And here's the start of our ADM metric definition.

Thinking about it, is the rest of this worksheet dependent on needing $n_a$ to lie along a coordinate line? Maybe not. However I remember reading somewhere that it is necessary to use a coordinate basis if you want to invoke extrinsic curvature ... TODO more picking that apart that later I guess.

spatial metric / projection tensor:
$\gamma_{uv} = g_{uv} + n_u n_v $
Notice that this operates as a projection onto the hypersurface, and the hypersurface components/sub-tensor operate as the metric of the hypersurface.
Also notice, for covariant indexes, $n_i = 0$ for $i \ne n$, and therefore $\gamma_{ij} = g_{ij}$ for $i,j \ne n$.
That is the next piece to our ADM metric definition.

spatial metric identity:
${\gamma_u}^a {\gamma_a}^v$
$= (\delta_u^a + n_u n^a)(\delta_a^v + n_a n^v)$
$= \delta_u^v + n_u n^v + n_u n^v + n_u n^a n_a n^v$
$= \delta_u^v + 2 n_u n^v - n_u n^v$
$= \delta_u^v + n_u n^v$
$= {\gamma_u}^v$

projection is orthogonal to normal:
$\gamma_{uv} n^v$
$= g_{uv} n^v + n_u n_v n^v$
$= n_u - n_u$
$\gamma_{uv} n^v = 0$

projection operation:
$\perp {T^{a_1 ... a_p}}_{b_1 ... b_q} = {\gamma^{a_1}}_{c_a} \cdot ... \cdot {\gamma^{a_p}}_{c_p} \cdot {\gamma^{d_1}}_{b_1} \cdot ... \cdot {\gamma^{d_q}}_{b_q} \cdot {T^{c_1 ... c_p}}_{d_1 ... d_q}$

spatial covariant derivative:
scalar: $\nabla^\perp_u f = \perp \nabla_u f = {\gamma_u}^v \nabla_v f$
tensor: $\nabla^\perp_u {T^v}_a = \perp \nabla_u {T^v}_a = {\gamma_u}^b {\gamma_c}^v {\gamma_a}^d \nabla_b {T^c}_d$

proof $\nabla^\perp_a$ is a metric-cancelling covariant derivative of $\gamma_{ab}$:
$\nabla^\perp_a \gamma_{bc}$
$={\gamma_a}^e {\gamma_b}^g {\gamma_c}^f \nabla_e \gamma_{gf}$
$={\gamma_a}^e {\gamma_b}^g {\gamma_c}^f \nabla_e (n_g n_f)$
$={\gamma_a}^e {\gamma_b}^g {\gamma_c}^f (n_f \nabla_e n_g + n_g \nabla_e n_f)$
$={\gamma_a}^e {\gamma_b}^g ({\gamma_c}^f n_f) \nabla_e n_g + {\gamma_a}^e {\gamma_c}^f ({\gamma_b}^g n_g) \nabla_e n_f$
$={\gamma_a}^e {\gamma_b}^g \cdot 0 \cdot \nabla_e n_g + {\gamma_a}^e {\gamma_c}^f \cdot 0 \cdot \nabla_e n_f$
$\nabla^\perp_a \gamma_{bc}=0$

unit normal is orthogonal to rotation:
$0 = \nabla_v (-1) = \nabla_v (n^u n_u) = n_u \nabla_v n^u + n^u \nabla_v n_u = 2 n^u \nabla_v n_u$
$n^u \nabla_v n_u = 0$

normal acceleration vector:
$a_u = n^v \nabla_v n_u$

acceleration is orthogonal to normal:
$n^u a_u = n^u n^v \nabla_v n_u = n^v (n^u \nabla_v n_u) = n^v \cdot 0 = 0$
${\gamma_u}^v a_v = \delta_u^v a_v + n_u n^v a_v = a^v$

Extrinsic curvature:
(some sources intentionally symmetrize $K_{ab} = -\nabla^\perp_{(a} n_{b)}$)
$K_{ab} = -\nabla^\perp_a n_b$
$= -{\gamma_a}^c {\gamma_b}^d \nabla_c n_d$
$= -(\delta_a^c + n_a n^c)(\delta_b^d + n_b n^d) \nabla_c n_d$
$= -\nabla_a n_b - n_a n^c \nabla_c n_b - n_b n^d \nabla_a n_d - n_a n_b n^c n^d \nabla_c n_d$
$= -\nabla_a n_b - n_a a_b$

By projection definition of the extrinsic curvature, we can assert:
$n^a K_{ab} = -n^a {\gamma_a}^c {\gamma_b}^d \nabla_c n_d = 0$ since $n^a {\gamma_a}^c = 0$
$n^b K_{ab} = -n^b {\gamma_a}^c {\gamma_b}^d \nabla_c n_d = 0$ since $n^b {\gamma_b}^d = 0$

What is the spatial covariant derivative of the spacetime metric?
$\nabla^\perp_a g_{uv}$
$= \nabla^\perp_a (\gamma_{uv} - n_u n_v)$
$= \nabla^\perp_a \gamma_{uv} - \nabla^\perp_a n_u n_v - n_u \nabla^\perp_a n_v$
using $\nabla^\perp_a \gamma_{uv} = 0$
$= -n_v \nabla^\perp_a n_u - n_u \nabla^\perp_a n_v$
$= n_v K_{au} + n_u K_{av}$

Therefore:
$K = K_{ab} \gamma^{ab} = K_{ab} g^{ab} = (-\nabla_a n_b - n_a a_b) g^{ab} = -\nabla_a n^a$



Decomposing a vector into its projection and normal components:

Let vector $v_a$ have spatial components $(v^\perp)_a = {\gamma_a}^u v_u$ and normal component $v^\top = n^a v_a / n^a n_a = -n^a v_a$
So $v_u = \delta^a_u v_a = ({\gamma_u}^a - n_u n^a) v_a = (v^\perp)_u + n_u v^\top$

Covariant derivative of vector in projection and normal components:
$\nabla_u v_v$
$= \nabla_u ((v^\perp)_v + n_v v^\top)$
$= \nabla_u (v^\perp)_v + v^\top \nabla_u n_v + n_v \nabla_u v^\top$
$= \nabla_u (v^\perp)_v - v^\top (K_{uv} + n_u a_v) + n_v \nabla_u v^\top$
$= \nabla_u (v^\perp)_v - v^\top K_{uv} - v^\top n_u a_v + n_v \nabla_u v^\top$

Vector covariant derivative, projection of covariant derivative index:
${\gamma_u}^a \nabla_a v_v$
$= {\gamma_u}^a (\nabla_a (v^\perp)_v - v^\top K_{av} - v^\top n_a a_v + n_v \nabla_a v^\top)$
$= {\gamma_u}^a \nabla_a (v^\perp)_v - v^\top K_{uv} + n_v {\gamma_u}^a \nabla_a v^\top $
$= {\gamma_u}^a \nabla_a (v^\perp)_v - v^\top K_{uv} + n_v \nabla^\perp_u v^\top $
$= {\gamma_u}^a \delta_v^b \nabla_a (v^\perp)_b - v^\top K_{uv} + n_v \nabla^\perp_u v^\top $
$= {\gamma_u}^a ({\gamma_v}^b - n_v n^b) \nabla_a (v^\perp)_b - v^\top K_{uv} + n_v \nabla^\perp_u v^\top $
$= {\gamma_u}^a {\gamma_v}^b \nabla_a (v^\perp)_b - {\gamma_u}^a n_v n^b \nabla_a (v^\perp)_b - v^\top K_{uv} + n_v \nabla^\perp_u v^\top $
...using $\nabla_a (n^b (v^\perp)_b) = 0$ therefore $n^b \nabla_a (v^\perp)_b = -(v^\perp)_b \nabla_a n^b$...
$= \nabla^\perp_u (v^\perp)_v + {\gamma_u}^a n_v (v^\perp)^b \nabla_a n_b - v^\top K_{uv} + n_v \nabla^\perp_u v^\top $
$= \nabla^\perp_u (v^\perp)_v + {\gamma_u}^a n_v (v^\perp)^b (-K_{ab} - n_a a_b) - v^\top K_{uv} + n_v \nabla^\perp_u v^\top $
...using ${\gamma_u}^a n_a = 0$...
$= \nabla^\perp_u (v^\perp)_v - K_{ua} (v^\perp)^a n_v + n_v \nabla^\perp_u v^\top - K_{uv} v^\top $

... for a spatial vector, set $v^\top = 0$:
${\gamma_u}^a \nabla_a (v^\perp)_v = \nabla^\perp_u (v^\perp)_v - K_{ua} (v^\perp)^a n_v$

Gauss' equation. (2008 Alcubierre, eqn 2.41; 2010 Baumgarte & Shapiro, eqn 2.68)

Gauss' equation, contracting once with the spatial metric:
$ \gamma^{ac} ( {R^\perp}_{abcd} + K_{ac} K_{bd} - K_{ad} K_{bc} ) = \gamma^{ac} {\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs} $
$ \gamma^{ac} {R^\perp}_{abcd} + \gamma^{ac} K_{ac} K_{bd} - \gamma^{ac} K_{ad} K_{bc} = \gamma^{pr} {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs} $
$ {R^\perp}_{bd} + K K_{bd} - K_{bc} {K^c}_d = \gamma^{pr} {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs} $ (Baumgarte & Shapiro 2010, eqn. 2.84)

Gauss' equation contracting twice with the spatial metric:
$ \gamma^{bd} ({R^\perp}_{bd} + K K_{bd} - K_{bc} {K^c}_d ) = \gamma^{bd} \gamma^{pr} {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs} $
$ \gamma^{bd} {R^\perp}_{bd} + \gamma^{bd} K K_{bd} - \gamma^{bd} K_{bc} {K^c}_d = \gamma^{pr} \gamma^{qs} R_{pqrs} $

spatial Riemann is orthogonal to normal:
${R^\perp}_{abcd} n^d$
$={\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs} n^d - K_{ac} K_{bd} n^d + K_{ad} K_{bc} n^d$
$={\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r (n^d {\gamma_d}^s) R_{pqrs} - K_{ac} (K_{bd} n^d) + (K_{ad} n^d) K_{bc}$
$={\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r \cdot 0 \cdot R_{pqrs} - K_{ac} \cdot 0 + 0 \cdot K_{bc}$
${R^\perp}_{abcd} n^d = 0$

spatial covariant derivative of extrinsic curvature:
$\nabla^\perp_a K_{bc}$
$=-{\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r \nabla_p K_{qr}$
$=-{\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r \nabla_p (\nabla_q n_r + n_q a_r)$
$=-{\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r (\nabla_p \nabla_q n_r + \nabla_p n_q a_r + n_q \nabla_p a_r)$
$=-{\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r (\nabla_p \nabla_q n_r + \nabla_p n_q a_r)$
$=-{\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r (\nabla_p \nabla_q n_r + (\nabla_p n_q + n_p a_q) a_r)$

$=-{\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r \nabla_p \nabla_q n_r + {\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r K_{pq} a_r$
$\nabla^\perp_a K_{bc}=-{\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r \nabla_p \nabla_q n_r + a_c K_{ab}$
therefore
$\nabla^\perp_{[a} K_{b]c} = -{\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r \nabla_{[p} \nabla_{q]} n_r$
Codazzi equation:
$\nabla^\perp_b K_{ac} - \nabla^\perp_b K_{bc} = {\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r n^s R_{pqrs}$

Decomposition of the Einstein curvature tensor:

${\gamma_a}^u n^v G_{uv}$
$= {\gamma_a}^u n^v (R_{uv} - \frac{1}{2} g_{uv} R)$
$= {\gamma_a}^u n^v R_{uv} - \frac{1}{2} {\gamma_a}^u n^v g_{uv} R$
$= {\gamma_a}^u n^v R_{uv} - \frac{1}{2} {\gamma_a}^u n_u R$
$= {\gamma_a}^u n^v R_{uv}$ (2008 Alcubierre, eqn 2.4.7)
$= {\gamma_a}^q g^{pr} n^s R_{pqrs}$

${\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v G_{uv}$
$= {\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v (R_{uv} - \frac{1}{2} g_{uv} R)$
$= {\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v R_{uv} - \frac{1}{2} {\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v g_{uv} R$
$= {\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v R_{uv} - \frac{1}{2} \gamma_{ab} R$
$= g^{pr} ({\gamma_a}^q {\gamma_b}^s - \frac{1}{2} \gamma_{ab} g^{qs}) R_{pqrs}$

$n^u n^v G_{uv}$
$= n^u n^v (R_{uv} - \frac{1}{2} R g_{uv})$
$= n^u n^v R_{uv} - \frac{1}{2} R n^u n_u$
$= n^u n^v R_{uv} + \frac{1}{2} R$
$= n^u n^v R_{uv} + \frac{1}{2} g^{uv} R_{uv}$
$= \frac{1}{2} (\gamma^{uv} + n^u n^v) R_{uv}$ ... this says the trace-reversal of the Ricci, i.e. the Einstein tensor, is the Ricci contracted with the trace-reversal of the projection.
$= \frac{1}{2} R + R_{uv} n^u n^v$
Therefore:
$n^u n^v G_{uv} = n^u n^v R_{uv} + \frac{1}{2} R$ (2008 Alcubierre, eqn. 2.7.2)

Keep going:
$n^u n^v G_{uv} = \frac{1}{2} (g^{pr} g^{qs} R_{pqrs} + g^{pr} n^q n^s R_{pqrs} + n^p n^r g^{qs} R_{pqrs})$
...using $R_{abcd} n^c n^d = 0$
$= \frac{1}{2} (g^{pr} g^{qs} R_{pqrs} + g^{pr} n^q n^s R_{pqrs} + n^p n^r g^{qs} R_{pqrs} + n^p n^r n^q n^s R_{pqrs})$
...un-distribute...
$= \frac{1}{2} (g^{pr} + n^p n^r) (g^{qs} + n^q n^s) R_{pqrs}$
...use definition of projection...
$= \frac{1}{2} \gamma^{pr} \gamma^{qs} R_{pqrs}$
Therefore:
$n^u n^v G_{uv} = \frac{1}{2} \gamma^{pr} \gamma^{qs} R_{pqrs}$ (2008 Alcubierre, eqn 2.4.3)
Also:
$\gamma^{pr} \gamma^{qs} R_{pqrs} = R + 2 R_{uv} n^u n^v$ (2010 Baumgarte & Shapiro, eqn. 2.86)

Using $\gamma^{pr} \gamma^{qs} R_{pqrs} = R^\perp + K^2 - K^{ab} K_{ab}$
and $n^u n^v G_{uv} = \frac{1}{2} \gamma^{pr} \gamma^{qs} R_{pqrs}$
we get: $2 n^u n^v G_{uv} = R^\perp + K^2 - K^{ab} K_{ab}$ (2008 Alcubierre, eqn 2.4.5, 2010 Baumgarte & Shapiro, eqn. 2.88)

start with Codazzi equation:
$ \nabla^\perp_b K_{ac} - \nabla^\perp_b K_{bc} = {\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_c}^r {\gamma_b}^q n^s R_{pqrs} $
multiply by $\gamma^{ac}$:
$ \gamma^{ac} \nabla^\perp_b K_{ac} - \gamma^{ac} \nabla^\perp_b K_{bc} = \gamma^{ac} {\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_c}^r {\gamma_b}^q n^s R_{pqrs} $
$ \gamma^{ac} \nabla^\perp_b K_{ac} - \gamma^{ac} \nabla^\perp_b K_{bc} = \gamma^{pr} {\gamma_b}^q n^s R_{pqrs} = g^{pr} {\gamma_b}^q n^s R_{pqrs} + n^p n^r n^s {\gamma_b}^q R_{pqrs} $
... using $R_{pqrs} n^r n^s = 0$ by antisymmetry of $R_{pqrs}$ and symmetry of $n^r n^s$:
... and using $\gamma_{ab} \nabla^\perp_c = \nabla^\perp_c \gamma_{ab}$
$ \nabla^\perp_b (\gamma^{ac} K_{ac}) - \nabla^\perp_b (K_{bc} \gamma^{ac}) = g^{pr} {\gamma_b}^q n^s R_{pqrs} $
...using $g^{pr} {\gamma_b}^q n^s R_{pqrs} = {\gamma_a}^u n^v G_{uv}$
${\gamma_a}^u n^v G_{uv} = \nabla^\perp_a K - \nabla^\perp_b {K_a}^b$ (2008 Alcubierre eqn 2.4.8)

Therefore...
${\gamma_a}^u n^v (R_{uv} - \frac{1}{2} g_{uv} R) = \nabla^\perp_a K - \nabla^\perp_b {K_a}^b$
${\gamma_a}^u n^v R_{uv} - \frac{1}{2} {\gamma_a}^u n_u R = \nabla^\perp_a K - \nabla^\perp_b {K_a}^b$
${\gamma_a}^u n^v R_{uv} = \nabla^\perp_a K - \nabla^\perp_b {K_a}^b$
...and the trace-reversal part cancels anyways.

${\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v R_{uv}$
$= {\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v g^{cd} R_{ucvd}$
$= {\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v (\gamma^{cd} - n^c n^d) R_{ucvd}$
$= {\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v \gamma^{cd} R_{ucvd} - {\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v n^c n^d R_{ucvd} $
using ${R^\perp}_{abcd} + K_{ac} K_{bd} - K_{ad} K_{bc} = {\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs}$
so $\gamma^{bd} {R^\perp}_{abcd} + \gamma^{bd} K_{ac} K_{bd} - \gamma^{bd} K_{ad} K_{bc} = {\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_c}^r \gamma^{bd} {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs}$
so ${R^\perp}_{ac} + K K_{ac} - {K_a}^b K_{bc} = {\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_c}^r \gamma^{qs} R_{pqrs}$
$= {R^\perp}_{ab} + K K_{ab} - {K_a}^c K_{cb} - {\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v n^c n^d R_{ucvd} $
... using ${\gamma_a}^b = \delta_a^b + n_a n^b$
$= {R^\perp}_{ab} + K K_{ab} - {K_a}^c K_{cb} - (\delta_a^u + n_a n^u) (\delta_b^v + n_b n^v) n^c n^d R_{ucvd} $
... using $n^a n^b R_{abcd} = 0$
$= {R^\perp}_{ab} + K K_{ab} - {K_a}^c K_{cb} - n^c n^d R_{acbd} $
$= {R^\perp}_{ab} + K K_{ab} - {K_a}^c K_{cb} - {\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^r n^q n^s R_{pqrs} $

contracting Gauss' equation:
$R^\perp_{abcd} + K_{ac} K_{bd} - K_{ad} K_{bc} = {\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs}$
$g^{ac} (R^\perp_{abcd} + K_{ac} K_{bd} - K_{ad} K_{bc}) = g^{ac} {\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_c}^r {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs}$
${R^{\perp a}}_{bad} + K K_{bd} - {K^a}_d K_{ba} = \gamma^{pr} {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs}$
$g^{bd}({R^\perp}_{bd} + K K_{bd} - {K^a}_d K_{ba}) = g^{bd} \gamma^{pr} {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs}$
${R^\perp} + K^2 - K^{ab} K_{ab} = \gamma^{pr} \gamma^{qs} R_{pqrs}$
...substitute projected Riemann...
$R^\perp+K^2-K_{ab}K^{ab}=R + 2n^a n^b R_{ab}$
...solve for R...
$R = R^\perp - K_{ab} K^{ab} + K^2 - 2 n^a n^b R_{ab}$

Back to the once-contracted Codazzi equations:
$ {R^\perp}_{bd} + K K_{bd} - K_{bc} {K^c}_d = \gamma^{pr} {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs} $
now use $\gamma^{pr} = g^{pr} + n^p n^r$
$ {R^\perp}_{bd} + K K_{bd} - K_{bc} {K^c}_d = (g^{pr} + n^p n^r) {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs} $
$ {R^\perp}_{bd} + K K_{bd} - K_{bc} {K^c}_d = g^{pr} {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs} + n^p n^r {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs} $
using $g^{pr} R_{pqrs} = R_{qs}$
$ {R^\perp}_{bd} + K K_{bd} - K_{bc} {K^c}_d = {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{qs} + n^p n^r {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs} $
using $R_{ab} = G_{ab} + \frac{1}{2} g_{ab} R$
Another route is to use the trace-reversed EFE here: $R_{ab} = 8 \pi (T_{ab} - \frac{1}{2} g_{ab} T)$, which lets you arrive at 2010 Baumgarte & Shapiro, eqn. 2.103. Maybe I'll do that later in the "ADM Constraints" worksheet where I introduce the EFE and the projected stress-energy tensor to these normal projected equations.
$ {R^\perp}_{bd} + K K_{bd} - K_{bc} {K^c}_d = {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s (G_{qs} + \frac{1}{2} g_{qs} R) + n^p n^r {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs} $
$ {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s G_{qs} = {R^\perp}_{bd} + K K_{bd} - K_{bc} {K^c}_d - \frac{1}{2} \gamma_{bd} R - n^p n^r {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs} $
... using our previous definition of projected Einstein curvature: ${\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v G_{uv} = {\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v R_{uv} - \frac{1}{2} \gamma_{ab} R$
$ {\gamma_b}^u {\gamma_d}^v R_{uv} - \frac{1}{2} \gamma_{bd} R = {R^\perp}_{bd} + K K_{bd} - K_{bc} {K^c}_d - \frac{1}{2} \gamma_{bd} R - n^p n^r {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs} $
$ {\gamma_b}^u {\gamma_d}^v R_{uv} = {R^\perp}_{bd} + K K_{bd} - K_{bc} {K^c}_d - n^p n^r {\gamma_b}^q {\gamma_d}^s R_{pqrs} $
... and we're back at our definition of projected Ricci curvature.

Start again with:
$ {\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v G_{uv} = {R^\perp}_{ab} + K K_{ab} - K_{ac} {K^c}_b - \frac{1}{2} \gamma_{ab} R - n^p n^r {\gamma_a}^q {\gamma_b}^s R_{pqrs} $
Substitute: $R = R^\perp - K_{ab} K^{ab} + K^2 - 2 n^a n^b R_{ab}$
$ {\gamma_a}^u {\gamma_b}^v G_{uv} = {R^\perp}_{ab} + K K_{ab} - K_{ac} {K^c}_b - \frac{1}{2} \gamma_{ab} ( R^\perp - K_{cd} K^{cd} + K^2 - 2 n^c n^d R_{cd} ) - n^p n^r {\gamma_a}^q {\gamma_b}^s R_{pqrs} $
$ \perp G_{ab} = (G^\perp)_{ab} + K K_{ab} - \frac{1}{2} \gamma_{ab} K^2 - K_{ac} {K^c}_b + \frac{1}{2} \gamma_{ab} K_{cd} K^{cd} + \gamma_{ab} n^c n^d R_{cd} - n^p n^r {\gamma_a}^q {\gamma_b}^s R_{pqrs} $
So those four $K_{ab}$ products are really two trace-reversals. Reversed using the $\gamma_{ab}$ metric, but reversed with the spacetime weight of $\frac{2}{n} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$ instead of the 3-metric's weight $\frac{2}{3}$
For entertainment, what do all those $K_{ab}$'s look like in terms of ${\gamma_a}^b$'s?
$ \perp G_{ab} = (G^\perp)_{ab} + ( {\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^q \gamma^{rs} - \frac{1}{2} \gamma_{ab} \gamma^{pq} \gamma^{rs} - {\gamma_a}^p \gamma^{qr} {\gamma_b}^s + \frac{1}{2} \gamma_{ab} \gamma^{pr} \gamma^{qs} ) K_{pq} K_{rs} + \gamma_{ab} n^c n^d R_{cd} - n^p n^r {\gamma_a}^q {\gamma_b}^s R_{pqrs} $
$ \perp G_{ab} = (G^\perp)_{ab} + ( 2 {\gamma_a}^p {\gamma_b}^{[q} \gamma^{s]r} + \gamma_{ab} \gamma^{p[r} \gamma^{q]s} ) K_{pq} K_{rs} + \gamma_{ab} n^c n^d R_{cd} - n^p n^r {\gamma_a}^q {\gamma_b}^s R_{pqrs} $



Lie derivative along hypersurface normal of spatial hypersurface, in terms of extrinsic curvature:
$\mathcal{L}_{\vec{n}} \gamma_{ab} = n^c e_c(\gamma_{ab}) + \gamma_{cb} e_a(n^c) + \gamma_{ac} e_b(n^c) $
$\mathcal{L}_{\vec{n}} \gamma_{ab} = n^c \nabla_c \gamma_{ab} + \gamma_{cb} \nabla_a n^c + \gamma_{ac} \nabla_b n^c $
substitute definition of projection:
$\mathcal{L}_{\vec{n}} \gamma_{ab} = n^c \nabla_c (g_{ab} + n_a n_b) + (g_{cb} + n_c n_b) \nabla_a n^c + (g_{ac} + n_a n_c) \nabla_b n^c $
distribute parenthesis:
$\mathcal{L}_{\vec{n}} \gamma_{ab} = n^c \nabla_c g_{ab} + n_b n^c \nabla_c n_a + n_a n^c \nabla_c n_b + g_{cb} \nabla_a n^c + n_c n_b \nabla_a n^c + g_{ac} \nabla_b n^c + n_a n_c \nabla_b n^c $
use the metric-cancelling property of our covariant derivative $\nabla_c g_{ab} = 0$, using acceleration vector definition $a_u = n^a \nabla_a n_u$, using $n_b \nabla_a n^b = 0$:
$ \mathcal{L}_{\vec{n}} \gamma_{ab} = n_b a_a + n_a a_b + \nabla_a n_b + \nabla_b n_a $
using $K_{ab} = -\nabla_a n_b - n_a a_b$:
$ \mathcal{L}_{\vec{n}} \gamma_{ab} = -K_{ab} - K_{ba}$
using $K_{ab} = K_{(ab)}$:
$ \mathcal{L}_{\vec{n}} \gamma_{ab} = -2 K_{ab}$ (2008 Alcubierre, eqn. 2.3.7, 2010 Baumgarte & Shapiro, eqn. 2.58)
