Too many to read through.
Yes it can be done. You will have to sister in another joist full length on both sides of the one you want to cut. Maybe even triple it depending on the span.
Next, where your wanting to cut out, you will need to double up both sides. That way your box is strong enough. Will need to also incorporate joist hangers on this too.
Now, by moving the projector up those few inches and then literally putting a wall in front of it, is that going to do you any good?

Thanks, lifting the projector 8" would raise the picture up the 8" that I need.

Ok. Also, under where the sistered up joists are, put at least 2 if not 3 two X into the wall underneath to act as a post. That will help with the extra weight transfer.
