PROJ dates back to before-or-about-the-same-time as IEEE-754 arithmetic, and hence before the NaN concept was common. So all the way from Jerry Evenden's earliest PROJ work around 1980, HUGE_VAL has been used as the exceptional value in PROJ. Often HUGE_VAL is defined as infinity for C stdlibs running on a IEEE-754 platform, so it makes much sense here.
There was a recent PROJ discussion (which I cannot find atm), focusing on the reasonable idea of changing from HUGE_VAL to NaN. That would, however, be a breaking change. In Rust Geodesy I try to use NaN, when
