I have changed the code around, but here is the entire plugin, again it will ONLY save the update_field when I have the die(); that is show in this.

function nbpe_post_unpublished( $new_status, $old_status, $post ) {
    if ($new_status != 'trash'){ // If item is being deleted, don't do anything.
		if ($post->post_type == 'project'){ // Make sure this is a "project" post, not a regular post.
			if ( $old_status != 'publish'  &&  $new_status == 'publish') { // A function to perform actions when a post status changes from any non-published to published status.
					do_action( 'save_post', $post->ID, $post, true );
					nbpe_build_address_string($post);
			}
		}
	}
}
add_action( 'transition_post_status', 'nbpe_post_unpublished', 10, 3 );

function nbpe_build_address_string($post){
	$post_id = $post->ID;
	$street_number = get_field('street_number');
	$street_direction = get_field('street_direction');
	if ($street_direction == 'NONE'){
		$street_direction = '';
	}
	else{
		$street_direction = $street_direction.'+';
	}
	$street_name = str_replace(' ', '+',get_field('street_name'));
	$street_suffix = get_field('street_suffix');
	if ($street_suffix == 'NONE'){
		$street_suffix ='';
	}
	else{
		$street_suffix = $street_suffix.'+';
	}
	$city = get_field('city');
	$state = get_field('state');
	$zip_code = get_field('zip_code');
	$address_space = '+';
	$address_string = $street_number.$address_space.$street_direction.$street_name.$address_space.$street_suffix.$zip_code;
	geoencode($address_string, $post_id);
}

function geoencode($address_string, $post_id){
	$url_string = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address='.$address_string;
	$xmlStr = file_get_contents($url_string); //Read the XML returned by Google maps API into a string.
	$xmlObj = simplexml_load_string($xmlStr); //Interprets a string of XML into an object.
	$arrXml = objectsIntoArray($xmlObj); // Converts to an array.
	
	$status = $arrXml['status'];
			
		$latitude = $arrXml["result"]["geometry"]["location"]["lat"];
		$longitude = $arrXml["result"]["geometry"]["location"]["lng"];
	
		echo 'Status: '.$status.'<br />';
		echo 'Lat: '.$latitude.'<br />';
		echo 'Lng: '.$longitude.'<br />';
	
		update_field('latitude', $latitude, $post_id);
		update_field('longitude', $longitude, $post_id);
	
	die('<a href=edit.php?post_type=project><h1>Continue</h1></a>');
}

function objectsIntoArray($arrObjData, $arrSkipIndices = array())
{
    $arrData = array();
    
    // if input is object, convert into array
    if (is_object($arrObjData)) {
        $arrObjData = get_object_vars($arrObjData);
    }
    
    if (is_array($arrObjData)) {
        foreach ($arrObjData as $index => $value) {
            if (is_object($value) || is_array($value)) {
                $value = objectsIntoArray($value, $arrSkipIndices); // recursive call
            }
            if (in_array($index, $arrSkipIndices)) {
                continue;
            }
            $arrData[$index] = $value;
        }
    }
    return $arrData;
