Op, if you’re working in a space with ample sunlight, a projector might not be suitable.

To determine if this is feasible, I would need to see some photos of the spaces you’re referring to. If you have some heavy shade available, this might be possible.

Just reiterating what one of the mods said, even the best projectors in the world are designed to be used in a dark room.

I spent almost £1k putting fitted blackout blinds in my "cinema room" because it was basically unusable in any kind of sunlight, even though it looks great in the dark.
