From your topic line (Project start from Google Earth .kml File), I assume you are trying to create a project. The step you appear to have completed is creating a place, not a project. That’s OK as you probably need the Place information to make your project.
If you now (from iNaturalist.org) go to Community–>Projects–> Start a project, you can build a project using the .kml place file you created as a boundary.

Hi Janet, thanks for your response - much appreciated!

There isn’t a ‘Start Project’ option in the drop down Menu are you suggested (see screen clip) - any idea why?

I couldn’t fill out the details on that Proforma - the cursor wouldn’t click on it so I could write text - so that’s why I used the Comments to outline the problem; but here is the response you asked for…

Platform (Android, iOS, Website): Website

App version number, if a mobile app issue (shown under Settings or About):

Browser, if a website issue (Firefox, Chrome, etc) : Safari

Choose “projects” and then you’ll see “start a project” on the projects page.
