Maxing Project Mind makes Wraith incredibly hard to catch by giving her teleport a big boost in range, making Wraith more tanky upon finishing the teleport, and letting her cast it more often.

Tips for Telekinesis
Get in the habit of watching what the enemy team is building and adjust your game plan based on who builds items that can counter Telekinesis.
Try to avoid the ones that do build counter items or track their cooldowns if they use it on one of your allies instead.

How to Counter Wraith
Wraith players will often save up their Card Trick for a big combo. If they have recently used their cards, it might be a good opportunity to fight them so be sure to track them floating above her head.
Never underestimate Wraith's pushing power. If you see her split pushing, your team should likely send someone to slow her wave before she's in your base.
If Wraith casts her ult Telekinesis on you from a distance, you might have some time to create more distance between you before it lands. If you react quickly enough, you may be able to find cover or get to nearby allies.
