Before you can see the Protoform Synthesis mount schematics, you need to unlock the Protoform Repository – the mount version of Protoform Synthesis. To do this, research Sopranian Understanding under the Dealic tree of the Cypher Research Console and complete the Finding Tahli questline to unlock the Architect.
