Method: projects.create

Request that a new Project be created. The result is an Operation which can be used to track the creation process. This process usually takes a few seconds, but can sometimes take much longer. The tracking Operation is automatically deleted after a few hours, so there is no need to call operations.delete.

Authorization requires the Google IAM permission resourcemanager.projects.create on the specified parent for the new project. The parent is identified by a specified ResourceId, which must include both an ID and a type, such as organization.

This method does not associate the new project with a billing account. You can set or update the billing account associated with a project using the projects.updateBillingInfo method.
