you simply might not have enough permissions to attach the billing

Are you sure you have sufficient permissions? IMO the simplest way to check this is to try manually assign the billing account using Google Web Console.

Normally, I’d suggest checking if you configured ADC (application default credentials) but since you successfully created the project, that’s probably not it. Just in case, you might run:
```gcloud auth application-default login```

```You are not an administrator of any billing accounts. To enable billing on this project, create a new billing account or contact your billing account administrator to enable billing for you```
I am getting this from the console, looks like permission issue?

in other words, this is not a pulumi issue and rather the permission/cloud config error
