With this error message Gerrit rejects to push a commit to a change that belongs to another project.

This error message means that the user explicitly pushed a commit to a change that belongs to another project by specifying it as target ref. This way of adding a new patch set to a change is deprecated as explained here. It is recommended to only rely on Change-Ids for replacing changes.
