Description

**Describe the Issue**

We need to deliver a quarterly cost report to Olena with the following information:
- Project Name (folder name)
- Ministry
- Cost of each month over the quarter (or quarterly cost?)
- What services were used

I think it would be a good idea to script this if there is no easy way to generate this report in the GCP console. This will require some information gathering to determine.

NOTE: the ministry will have to be inferred from the project name for now as there is no metadata stored around the projects.

**Acceptance Criteria**

- [ ] Determine if there is a way to easily generate this report via the GCP console
- [ ] If there is not an easy way to generate this report, write a script firstly to just output the project folder names
- [ ] Stretch goal: script the monthly cost and the services that were used

Research direction

Start by checking whether the GCP console can produce a quarterly report containing project folder names, inferred ministry, monthly or quarterly costs, and used services. If it cannot, determine where a script should live and make the initial output cover project folder names; the monthly cost and service details are a stretch goal.
