Morphology
project = pro + ject
Although the word historically contains pro- and a bound root, an average learner cannot derive the sense 'stick out' from recognizable English parts.
Etymology
Project comes from old Latin parts pro- ('forward') and ject ('throw'), like something 'thrown out' from a surface. So, when something projects it sticks out from what holds it.
