Like Alex says, you ask for scopes during OAuth authentication. One way to easily authenticate and obtain a Oauth access token is doing:

gcloud beta auth application-default login --scopes=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloudplatformprojects

As you can see, you can specify the scopes you want to gcloud and it will take care of authentication for you.

Then, you should be able to create a project calling:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud beta auth application-default print-access-token)" -X POST -d '{"name": "project example","projectId": "my-project-example-1234"}' https://cloudresourcemanager.googleapis.com/v1/projects?fields=response

Here, you are passing the access token obtained when you made Oauth authentication. This should be taken care of by the client libraries for you when you get the application default credentials.
