ng build and ng serve with --project should clearly indicate that a project is unrecognized

[lonerzzz]

🐞 Bug report

Command (mark with an x)

• new
• build
• serve
• test
• e2e
• generate
• add
• update
• lint
• xi18n
• run
• config
• help
• version
• doc

Is this a regression?

Suspect that this problem has existed from day one.

Description

When running 'ng build --project ' or 'ng serve --project ', the command gives a misleading error if the project name is not recognized. In the following example, 'Typo' is a project that has not even been created.

ng build --project Typo
An unhandled exception occurred: Project 'Typo' does not support the 'build' target.
See "C:\Users\Jason\AppData\Local\Temp\ng-nSmh2j\angular-errors.log" for further details.

Nothing about the error indicates that 'Typo' could not be found in the angular.json file and so starts a wild goose chase. I have been bitten by this twice at separate times when I have stepped away from the tools for a bit. A simple typo in the name of the project is enough to send one looking in the json file for errors when that is not the problem.
