Deletes a project custom field using soft delete (marked as deleted but not permanently removed).

**Important considerations:**
- The field will no longer appear in project forms
- Existing project data stored in this field will be retained but not displayed
- Deleted fields can be restored using the restore defaults endpoint

**Note:** This operation requires workspace settings management permission. Consider exporting data before deleting fields if you need to preserve historical information.
