I've probably burned some bridges this way, but whenever this has happened to me I've sent strongly worded messages to the recruiter and hiring manager. It probably goes nowhere, but I think it's time that we as an industry stop putting up with this shit.
It's also a great indication that it's not a company you want to work for anyway, but I don't have the stomach for accepting this level of disrespect towards applicants.
The only people who benefit from this situation are the people who have the luxury and freedom of 20 hours to spend on take-home projects. And even when I was that person once, I still hated it.
