Morphology
project = pro + ject
The sense of showing an image or film on a screen is a specialized extension from 'cast forward' and is not predictable from recognizable English parts.
Etymology
Project comes from old Latin parts pro- ('forward') and ject ('throw'), and it was used for 'throwing' light or images forward. That's why we say a projector 'throws' an image onto a screen and to project a film is to make the picture appear there.
