A week ago I tried this and project quotas appear to apply to root.

[root@localhost project_quota_test1]# xfs_quota -c df

The available space value seems like a bug, at least it’s not a sane/helpful value. But I do get a no space left on device, and the file being written is truncated at the hard limit for that project (directory).
