Which Emacs/Tramp version are you using?

This must be exactly the program name. "gcloud" I guess. "compute" and
"ssh" must be part of tramp-login-args.

"%h" must be an element of its own. Somethging like

    (tramp-login-args (("compute ssh") ("%h") ("--project example-project example-project-cli")))

tramp-gw-args do not exists for years. Likely, you don't need them.

When you have adapted your config, set also tramp-verbose to 6. Run the
test. If it fails, there will be a Tramp debug buffer, which tells
more. In case you need help to analyze, show it here.
