projected

1. 1
   verb

   Simple past and past participle of project.

   Analysts projected steady growth through the end of the year.

   The image was projected onto a large screen during the talk.

   Note

   One spelling serves both the past tense and the participle, and what follows it decides which it is. The intransitive meaning, jutting out, has no passive: a ledge projected over the door. The transitive meanings do: costs were projected, an image was projected. Images and shadows are projected onto a surface, and so are one's own feelings onto other people, while the reflexive use needs its pronoun: she projected herself as calm.

2. 2
   adjective

   Displayed or shown, as an image cast onto a surface by a projector or beam of light.
