When you create a new project you will have to DEACTIVATE the project you are coping from. This means your
users can’t login to QC while you are creating a new oracle project.
This means you have to copy a project on off hours or notify users.

Find the step in this document that says:

DEACTIVATE PROJECT: A warning message window pops up as shown below.
“You can copy values from deactivated projects only. The project you are currently working with is still active. Do

it’s creating tables.

If you are in prod you may be restoring tables after an upgrade
