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 there nature they are the most common to see on a planet.
Blueprint Buildings: These are buildings that are earned from missions but come in the form of a Blueprint Artifact which you must use to add them to your list. Once done you can build the building from the Blueprint for so long as you have the stuff to do so.
Mission Buildings: These are buildings that are either added to your list when a mission is complete (tier reward) or limited artifact buildings that you gain for finishing the mission.
NPC Loot Drops: These buildings are gained from defeating NPCs either at the end of a mission or just from your normal random NPC list.
Timed-Reward Buildings: These are buildings that are either a Holiday special or a long story arc mission. So they are limited on when you can get them. Though many story arc buildings become Mission Buildings once they are archived and when confirmed to have made the switch.
