What if Google wanted to support an Open Source project. Would it still be appropriate if the project mentioned Google as a sponsor, then showed a banner ad promoting the new Google Phone (no tracking/banner does not change)?

Saying its supported by Google and giving a link to google.com would be fine. Showing an actual advert I think is not fine.
