No, you can't block the addition of components by a project admin.

If you genuinely need to do that, then I'd suggest removing components from the project (hide them in the field configuration) and use a multi-select custom field instead.

You could write a listener to delete new components if you're ok with writing an app or have one of the scripting apps like Scriptruner or Power-scripts, but it would be a very very bad thing to do, as you'll be destroying valid data your people are trying to use.

Could you explain what problem you are trying to solve here?  There's going to be a far better answer than kludging useful Jira functionality.
