Error message for using a blocked project ID is awkward

Unassigned

Bug Description

1. At <https://staging.launchpad.net/projects/+new>, try to register a project with a reserved "name", such as "codeofconduct".

What you see: "The name 'codeofconduct' has been blocked by the Launchpad administrators"

This is overly technical, and doesn't suggest what you should do instead.

What you should see: "Sorry, the name “codeofconduct” is reserved for Launchpad itself. Choose a different name."
