Solution I tried:

First match CLI & Project Version
You have
Local: gatsby@3.15.0
Global CLI: gatsby-cli@5.14.0

To ensure CLI = Project Gatsby version
Then, rebuild cache files:

rm -rf .cache public node_modules package-lock.json
npm install
gatsby clean
gatsby develop

Run:
npm uninstall -g gatsby-cli
npm install -g gatsby-cli@3.15.0

Second: Check for Bad StaticQuery
somewhere in your project likely src/components/Layout.js or --Seo.js you have:
const data = useStaticQuery(graphqlquery { ... })

If that query asks for something like site.siteMetadata.title but you don’t have siteMetadata defined in gatsby-config.js, it will fail. Open .cache/query-engine.json (or run gatsby build) to see which query is failing.

Third: See if the gatsby-configue.js have required data or not like if querying site.siteMetaData.title, make sure:

module.exports = {
siteMetadata: {
title: "My Portfolio",
description: "Cool site",
author: "@me",
},
plugins: [
gatsby-plugin-image,
gatsby-plugin-sharp,
gatsby-transformer-sharp,
{
resolve: gatsby-source-filesystem,
options: {
name: images,
path: ${__dirname}/src/images,
},
},
],
}

Fourth: Double-Check Plugins
Since you’re using images, ensure:

(gatsby-plugin-image
gatsby-plugin-sharp
gatsby-transformer-sharp)
are installed and listed in gatsby-config.js

And then finally: try the quick test
gatsby build....even if its failing it should directly point to the bad query

Hope that helps!!!👍
