data "google_billing_account" "acct" {

}

resource "google_project" "my_project" {
  name       = "My Project"
  project_id = "your-project-id"
  org_id     = "1234567"

  billing_account = data.google_billing_account.acct.id
}
```

should be skipped. Setting `false` may be useful if the user permissions do not allow listing projects. Defaults to `true`.
