Hi!

Please report bugs at https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=kdevelop

Could be something wrong with the template you are using. Is it perhaps some 
obsolete external template that is not part of KDevelop package/repository? Make 
sure to spell out the exact strings you select in KDevelop's UI in the bug 
report's steps to reproduce.

Cheers,
