Well it works fine here, also for a file with the ansible substring:

ok I got it ... my understanding of environment variables was not sufficient 
obviously

I thought

    $ ANSIBLE_CONFIG=/opt/project.cfg
    $ echo $ANSIBLE_CONFG
    /opt/project.cfg

was proof enough for this to work in the current shell/context and *you only 
needed the **'**export'**to make the VARIABLE universal and permanent* (which 
in my usecase was not required or even unwanted).

thanks for clarifying
best Gunnar

You don't need export for one time usage:

ANSIBLE_CONFIG=/opt/project.cfg ansible ...
