I couldn't support the physics behind this - obviously someone dealing with acoustics would be in a better position to answer questions of overtones. In terms of our actual playing however, projection is fairly simple.

More vibration = more loudness =more projection.

Logically, it can't not work. The louder the sound, the more energy it carries, thus making it audible from further away. Some people feel that projection and volume (decibels) are two different things; personally, I can't find the separation.
In relation to actual playing, some people get confused as to how to actually play louder, to project more. If projection is a problem, what happens most often is that people blow from the abdominals more (good) but fail to keep the embouchure in a much more open and secure position. It clamps down. So even though they may feel they are playing louder and trying to project, they aren't, because the sound isn't actually louder.
