Description
Gitlab with Ultimate license introduces delayed project deletion
After deleting project it's not really deleted by default, but rather is scheduled for deletion which will be executed later (according to settings configured on project level or group level).
But it's possible to delete it via API immediately. Would be great if terraform provider supports that case otherwise project deletion just timeouts.

Support for me means:
- either using some 'force_delete' flag
- and / or option to specify that setting during project creation
Multiple things here:
After deleting project it's not really deleted by default, but rather is scheduled for deletion which will be executed later (according to settings configured on project level or group level).
So it wouldn't work to change the group setting to delete it immediately?
Unfortunately, the GitLab upstream API doesn't yet support to configure that - however, it's inherited from the parent group, up to the instance level where the delayed group removal is actually configured ...
But it's possible to delete it via API immediately.
How?
either using some 'force_delete' flag
For groups there will be some new deletion flags in 15.4 which support the immediate removal of groups, but I don't see anything for projects.
A possible solution without upstream API changes could be to introduce an attribute in the gitlab_project resource to not wait until the project has been removed, but just fire and forget that request.
