I just looked at the code and it appears this is not possible through the os_networks extension. This appears to be an oversight. It should probably allow a project to be passed in.

That said, the first time a user boots an instance, he automatically gets assigned a network, so in many cases it isn't needed.

Another option would be to modify the code you mentioned to allow a workaround:

if (context and not context.is_admin and project_id and (project_id != context.project_id)):
