`nx build` no longer reads default project when invoked at workspace root

[StalkAltan]

Current Behavior

nx build invoked from workspace root results in Error: Both project and target to have to be specified when a default project is specified.

Expected Behavior

nx build should invoke the build target on the default project

Steps to Reproduce

=> npx create-nx-workspace@14.4 => Choose preset (I used Angular to repro) => Run nx build and observe error

Failure Logs

altan@pop-os:~/Code/nrwl/repros/nx144$ npx nx build
nx run [project][:target][:configuration] [_..]

Run a target for a project
(e.g., nx run myapp:serve:production).

You can also use the infix notation to run a target:
(e.g., nx serve myapp --configuration=production)

You can skip the use of Nx cache by using the --skip-nx-cache option.
