Just had this issue myself. Fixed it by deleting all my node_modules, verifying npm cache, updating my global @nrwl-cli, and reinstalling. In short:

1. rm -rf node_modules
2. npm cache verify
3. npm install -g @nrwl/cli
4. npm install

Not sure of what did the trick, but I suppose it some kind of inconsistency in some @nrwl module version in the project or in the cache.
