Add a Project-level Calendar

Add a project-level calendar if it only needs to be available to a particular project. Calendars at the project level can be assigned as the default project calendar or to activities in the project. They cannot be assigned to resources or roles in the project. You can promote project-level calendars to the parent workspace if they should be made available to other projects in the workspace or to resources/roles.
