Morphology
project = pro + ject
Even though this sense is close to 'send forward', the bound root is not an independent English base word for most learners, so the construction is not productively transparent.
Etymology
Project comes from old Latin parts pro- ('forward') and ject ('throw'), which gives the clear image of 'throwing' something forward. So, to project can mean to send or propel something outward.
