/-- Tube coordinates around a periodic Reeb orbit `P = (x, T)` on a strictly star-shaped level `S`.
Let `w(s, t) ∈ S` (for `s > s₀`) be `1`-periodic in `t` with `w(s, t) - x(εTt + c) → 0` in `C^∞`.
Then for `s ≥ s₁` the map `w` is written as `w = proj H (x(τ) + h)` with `h ∈ ξ_{x(τ)}`, where
`τ(s, t + 1) = τ(s, t) + εT`, `h` is `1`-periodic, `τ(s, t) - εTt - c → 0` and `h → 0` in `C^∞`,
and `‖w - x(τ)‖ ≤ K ‖h‖`, `‖w - x(εTt + c)‖ ≤ K (‖h‖ + |τ - εTt - c|)`. -/
