fix: offline projects list 🐛 (#1254)

## JIRA Ticket

[BSS-548](https://jira.csiro.au/browse/BSS-548)

## Description

Projects list not working while offline.

## Proposed Changes

- Added function to update local database with projects list on both
sync and init

## How to Test

1. Ensure the projects list works without internet

## Additional Information

I believe the context provider was already pulling in the local projects
it was just empty as the update local function was lost in an update.

## Checklist

- [x] I have confirmed all commits have been signed.
- [x] I have added JSDoc style comments to any new functions or classes.
- [x] Relevant documentation such as READMEs, guides, and class comments
are updated.
