The only way it makes sense to me is if "costed" referred to the act of determining the cost of an item, project, etc.

Yes this is what it means to me, though I’m not sure if I’ve ever said it (vs “priced”). It means a systematic listing of all the costs of a project (possibly with a “plan A,B,C” type option. Often used with “out” as in “we costed out building a new bike shed but it’s not in the budget”.)

This is where I hear it, as the past tense of working out the total expenses associated with a good or service.

Yeah I was thinking it works just fine as more or less a synonym to "priced" but it would sound awkward in other contexts

Apparently this is a common British usage! (I only know this because back when I Warhammered people talked about things being “over costed” and I looked it up. Because it causes me physical pain every time I see it.)

I work in billing and have only come across “costed” from people infamously bad at grammar in general. Also “payed” which makes my eye twitch. (And don’t get me started on our service technicians notes. At least I’m putting my English Comp background to good use editing & rewriting those!)
