What causes this issue?

For each object in CGPL_TASK of object type &v1& there has to be a
matching record in the &v2& with the same TOP_PROJECT_GUID. A matching
TOP_PROJECT_GUID ensures that the object is correctly linked to the
project. If there is no match than this means that there is an
inconsistency in the TOP_PROJECT_GUID, which could be repaired by
substituting with the PROJECT_GUID from CGPL_TASK.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
