CA Support does track known issues at a finer level version level (than the above document) as they are reported. This is not released as this changes frequently as issues are found and patched.
The most current "known working" patch levels for both MS Project 2013 and 2016 as at May 2018 are:
MS Project 2013:
March 6, 2018 15.0.5015.1000 KB4018292
MS Project 2016:
March 6, 2018 16.0.4666.1000 KB4011734
The rule of thumb is that newer releases are more likely to be compatible than older releases.
If you wish to use an older point release, or wish to know if an exact version is certified that is not listed in the above sources, please log an issue with CA Support for any known status.
