Usage Note
Proiettare takes avere as auxiliary. It covers both projecting an image onto a surface (proiettare un film) and casting light or shadow. The noun is proiezione (f). In a psychological sense, proiettare also means 'to project' emotions onto others (as in Freudian projection), a usage increasingly common in Italian.
Examples
"Stanno proiettando un film francese stasera."
Natural Translation
They are screening a French film tonight.
