What’s on the floor above it? And how long is the span. You could probably do it if you if you hanger a header in-between the two joists, where you have the blue drawn, and hanger the joist you are notching into the header, and same thing on the other side of the notch. Or better yet. Add a joist on each side of the joist you want to notch to where the projector would fit and then hanger in between those two joists. There is a lot of other information I’d need before saying to go for it. Also you might make a floor squeak above it, depending on what you do.

This is in the basement, above it is the utility wall that takes things like plumbing, HVAC, and electrical to the 2nd floor.
From other comments, it seems like the appropriate way here is to sister up the side joists and then create a box where I need to remove the joist.
I might even add some blocking between the joists for further support.
