GNOME Builder was likely downloading dependencies, if you check the
upper-right-hand corner for a download icon.

Builder uses flatpak-builder for all modules EXCEPT the one with the same
name as your project. For that one, it stops and uses its integrated build
system management. Make sure your meson.build or CMakeLists.txt is in the
directory you selected, and make sure all the downloads are complete. Then,
the build should work.
