Using a Kotlin version below `2.1.20` causes weird exception

I have a multiplatform project with a dependency like this `api(project(":other_module"))`, and with Kotlin version `2.1.10` Gradle fails with `java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'org.gradle.api.artifacts.ProjectDependency org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.KotlinDependencyHandler.project(java.lang.String)'`.

The issue is resolved when switching the version to `2.1.20`. It might be desirable to see if a better error message could be provided, something like "version 2.1.20 is required".
