Morphology

projected = project (transparent) = project + ed

Standard adjectival/past-participle formation from the verb 'project'; the meaning 'protruding' or 'displayed' follows directly from the verb sense.

Etymology

Projected comes from two parts that mean 'forward' and 'to throw' — pro- 'forward' and -ject 'throw', the same -ject you see in eject. So something projected is like 'thrown forward' and therefore sticks out past a surface, like a roof or cheekbones.
