projected

Shown on screen

Projected describes something estimated, planned, or forecast for the future: projected sales, projected growth, projected costs.

The word implies calculation or expectation rather than certainty.

Projected also means thrown forward or outward—a voice projected to the back of the hall, an image projected onto a screen, or emotions projected onto others.

In geometry, a projected shape has been mapped from one surface to another.
