Newly Created Project Fails During Creation Causing Project Not Able to be Used or Deleted

Note

This issue is not replicable thus far, however, there are cases reported having the same behavior.

Issue Symptom

Project created, seen in the list of project in project administration page, but when trying to access or delete. It is presented with error message:

No project could be found with key $projectkey

No visible error in the logs, just some information stating after the redirection to the project page:

Suspect:

Some interruption (maybe network) causing the project creation to halt. But there is not enough information in the logs that might determine that.
