Morphology
project = pro + ject
The sense of making a voice, emotion, or quality noticeable is a figurative extension and is not derivable from ordinary meanings of recognizable English parts.
Etymology
Project comes from old Latin parts pro- ('forward') and ject ('throw'), so to project your voice is like 'throwing' your sound forward so people can hear it. That's why actors learn to project on stage.
