During a conversation in chat I wanted to say

Your current version of the project is not bad. The question is how good you want it to be.

And then I thought: Is it right to use the question without question mark and inversion?
I read and heard a considerable amount of English and the phrase seemed okay, but I wasn't completely sure.

Based on this info, I finally decided that it was right.

Am I correct?

  • Maybe, "The question is: how good do you want it to be?"

  • @SovereignSun, I assume that this is the option, but my question was about correctness of the aforementioned phrase.

For the question to not hang around for an eternity without an answer,

Yes, it is possible to phrase the sentence in that way.

An example of a similar case is given in the recording of Bryan Lockwood getting streets 1:12.

Do you see how fast my pace is?

Sounds ok to me. The main meaning of question is query but in this sentence the word question has the same meaning as matter.
