Wait a minute, wouldn't Paige have received astral projection as well, if she did in fact receive Prue's power? Weren't the two powers connected? Astral projection was an advancement of telekinesis, wasn't it?
I think Prue and Paige were just born with the same power. I don't think if Patty had anymore children that they would be powerless, necessarily. Melinda just foresaw the Charmed Ones having those powers; she didn't foresee any later siblings, but that doesn't mean they couldn't/didn't exist or wouldn't be able to inherit any of her powers. She just didn't see it happening. Just because she was a powerful visionary doesn't mean she was all-knowing of the future; Phoebe certainly wasn't.
And in "Charmed Again," I think Piper meant third sister as in the third Charmed One; that if Paige was the third member of the Charmed Ones then it would mean she has the same power as Prue.
Also in "Centennial Charmed," Paige manifested teleorbing even while her white-lighter side was dormant. Her white-lighter side wouldn't have been able to mutate any newly acquired witch powers at that point, possibly hinting that she already had the power prior to meeting her sisters.

Even if Paige was born with telekinetic orbing like Prue was telekinesis that doesn't mean she'd get astral projection as an additional power like Prue did as when Piper said Paige would have the third power in 'Charmed Again' she just meant she would have Prue's power to move things with her mind then.
Paige could orb by that time anyway like she did with Shax so she wouldn't need to astral project as both powers are forms of teleportation.
The writers wanted to make Paige different to Prue so she wasn't the same as her by being a full time whitelighter with witch based powers through that side of her hence orb shielding but also when the comics were being made they were bringing Prue back with her original powers so they didn't want her and Paige having the same ones except their first ones I suppose which work differently between one another anyway.
I wouldn't have wanted Paige getting astral projection anyway as that would've reminded me too much of Prue which I'm glad Paige isn't really.

Her white-lighter side wouldn't have been able to mutate any newly acquired witch powers at that point, possibly hinting that she already had the power prior to meeting her sisters. No, she did not receive Prue's power - she received one of the three Warren powers - the power to move things with her mind - the way she would've received Piper's power to manipulate molecules or Phoebe's power to see the future had they been the one who died - had she already had the power to move things with her mind and one of the other sisters died and she received theirs, it would've thrown the Power of Three off-kilter and the Charmed Ones probably would not have been reconstituted. Prue's power had advanced but it was a power Paige didn't need since she had all of the whitelighter powers. But she received the Warren power when she was under the chandelier so the Charmed Ones could be reconstituted. She did not have it before because there was no way of knowing which Charmed One would die first. Had she not been a witchlighter and the only power she received was Prue's power, exactly like Prue's, then she probably would've received astral projection, too. But she could already orb - as proven by "A Paige From the Past" - so she didn't need it. It's the same reason why her power to move things with her mind didn't work the same way as Prue's.

Paige is a teleporter, whose ability manifest in blue obs, due to her whitelighter heritage. There is no such thing as telekinesis orbing.

Penny was a telekinetic her whole life and was a powerful witch, yet she never had the power to astral project, so I think evolutions of the powers aren't something settled from the start. Prue being an astral projecter doesn't mean Paige should be. Plus you can't compare the strongest Charmed ones evolution with the youngest/weakest one. Even though I also have to say that I kinda agree with ljones too. You can say that Chris, for example, is a telekinetic. He uses telekinesis without blue orbs though he's just like paige, half whitelighter. So what does that make her? Anyway Penny bouded the girls power before Phoebe's birth, and before Paige's too then. Wouldn't that bound hers too? So she can't be born with her witch power whatever you want to call it. And just like the first Charmed ones had to be reunited together and say the spell after Penny's death, Paige as well only received her power when reunited with her sisters after Penny's death years before that.
