Homonym: projection (Forecasting)
Projection is a psychological defense mechanism where individuals attribute their own unwanted feelings, thoughts, or motives to others. For example, if someone feels insecure about their abilities, they might accuse others of being incompetent. This allows them to avoid confronting their own issues by shifting the focus onto someone else.
In a different context, projection can refer to the way images or data are displayed onto a surface, such as a screen. This is commonly used in presentations or movies, where a projector casts light through a lens to create a larger image for an audience to see.
