It probably means that the file
bin\project.dllis locked for writing by another process (possibly another instance of Visual Studio).You should try closing down all instances of VS and any other programs that could be attempting to read that file, then re-open Visual Studio and try to build again.
If that doesn’t work then you can try using Process Explorer to work out what process is locking that file.
