For me it gets biber execute everytime. Am I doing something wrong?

Same for me. Have you found a solution?

Looks like .bcf file is modified with every lualatex/pdflatex run. Then there is nothing much we can do about it with this structure of dependency.

To solve that problem, try to back up the bcf file before running lualatex/pdflatex/xelatex:

build/${PROJECT}.pdf: ${PROJECT}.bbl
	mv build/${PROJECT}.bcf build/${PROJECT}.bcf.bak
	lualatex --output-directory=build ${PROJECT}
	mv build/${PROJECT}.bcf.bak build/${PROJECT}.bcf

Oh this is horribly outdated. In 2020, just use latexmk, please.
