Special Buildings
Special Buildings are gained from artifacts, blue prints, or other rewards. So they are not gained by research but by other means. Be it a mission, artifact points, tier reward, or NPC. As such they give more than one type of bonus or a bonus that is hard to get.

The Buildings
As of the current time, every special building takes up a certain size on the planet, in exchange for the bonuses it bestows.
Artifact Buildings
These are buildings gained from Artifact points or Galaxy Points. So no missions grant them. But given their nature, they are the most commonly found buildings on a planet.

Blueprint Buildings

Once an Artifact Blueprint has been used, these buildings can then be built an unlimited number of times, as long as you have enough of the required building materials.

Timed-Reward Buildings
These are buildings are available either as a Holiday special or are rewards from completing missions in bi-weekly long story arcs. This means their availability is both time-limited and limited in number. However, if you miss out on buildings that are gained through story arc missions, you will get another chance to get them a few months later when the mission becomes archived and added as a standard mission.
