Add Time Period Settings section to Managing Projects

[claude]

Requested by Wiebke Caronna · Slack thread

Why

The Sendbird support agent and the Docs assistant were unable to retrieve information about the week-start-day and time-period settings because these settings were essentially undocumented. This PR adds that coverage so both product areas and support tooling have a canonical reference.

What changed

Added a new Time Period Settings section to the Managing Projects page (docs/orgs-and-projects/managing-projects.mdx), placed alongside the existing "Manage Timezones for Projects" section since both are project-level configuration. The section documents:

• Start of week — the day treated as the first day of the week, affecting weekly bucketing and week-based reports.
• Start of quarter — the month treated as the first month of each quarter, for fiscal calendars that don't begin in January.

It cross-links to the To Date date-range presets and to Roles & Permissions, and notes that access is governed by the Access Time Period Settings permission (Owners/Admins can edit; Analysts/Consumers are view-only, per the roles matrix).

Reviewer should verify

This section was written from references in the repo, not from the live product UI. Please confirm:

• The exact in-product navigation path to time period settings (this PR mirrors the "Settings -> Project Settings" phrasing used by the timezone section).
• The precise UI labels and available options for these settings.
• Whether start of quarter is configured by month or by some other unit.
• Whether any additional time-period controls exist (e.g. a fiscal-year setting) that should also be documented here.
