    We resolved the issue by taking the following actions

    1) Open the project file (.pbip) , then save as .pbix 

    2) Delete the orginal .pbip file

    3) Open the .pbix file, then saving as a new .pbip file
    After that we were able to make the changes and save the (new) project file without any issues.

I've run into this mysterious "UserErrorDetails doesn't make sense if the error is not caused by the user" issue too with a simlar stack track including

 

Microsoft.PowerBI.Client.Windows.Services.BiProjectOperationHandler.<SaveReportIntoProjectRelatedFile>

It seems to be an issue saving the .pbip file structure over existing files. I was able to save it into a new empty folder instead of in the existing location.

 

This seems to occur more often if you saving to a OneDrive or SharePoint shared folder (see Considerations and limitations here: Power BI Desktop projects (PBIP) - Power BI | Microsoft Learn)

 

In Power BI Desktop, you can't save as a PBIP directly to OneDrive and SharePoint. You can use Save As to save files to a locally synced OneDrive folder; however, this may cause file locking issues, potentially leading to failed save operations in Power BI Desktop.
