Yup, we are trying to prevent no-root users to change their project ID.
As we want to implement 'Directory Quota':

If non-root users could change their project ID, they could always try
to change its project ID to steal space when EDQUOT returns.

Yup, if mount option could be introduced to make this case work,
that will be nice.
