Estimated or forecasted for the future; thrown or cast forward in space or time.
From Latin 'proicere' meaning to throw forward, composed of 'pro' (forward) and 'iacere' (to throw). The meaning extended from physical throwing to mental forecasting in the 16th century.
The same Latin root gave us 'project', 'reject', and 'subject' - all involving throwing in different directions. Movie projection literally throws light forward to create images, while financial projections throw our calculations into the future.
