  1. Set default project settings inside gitlab.rb 
gitlab_rails['gitlab_default_projects_features_issues'] = false
gitlab_rails['gitlab_default_projects_features_merge_requests'] = false
gitlab_rails['gitlab_default_projects_features_wiki'] = false
gitlab_rails['gitlab_default_projects_features_builds'] = false
  1. Restart GitLab or gitlab-ctl reconfigure.
  2. Create a new project.

Actual behavior

Project features are visible for team members: default_project_settings_actual
