googlesheets4 call fails with object 'project' not found in way that tryCatch fails #319

Description

I'm running a process that updates a variety of sheets for a student information / data collection project for a school district. It loops through a series of grades at a series of schools, reading data from a set of sheets, doing some minimal processing, copying a blank template sheet, and re-writing the data.

Occasionally, Google times out. I've surrounded code with tryCatch, which helps, but sometimes I get an error like the one below that fails in a way tryCatch doesn't see and allow me to perform error handling.

I assume it's caused by Google being 'busy' or taking too long to process a specific request, but it would be nice if error handling could catch it reasonably gracefully.
