Projector Colour Temperature

Provided the projector is correctly set up (and it can't be set up for sRGB or AdobeRGB at the same time) you should just prepare your images so look right on your screen. That assumes your kit is also correctly set up.
If your pictures look consistently dark when projected, then lighten them to compensate. If there's a colour balance problem that too can be addressed.
Projectors can handle some images better than others, so it depends on the projector, but if, for example, it doesn't handle dark shadows well, then perhaps think about submitting different images that don't depend on dark shadow detail.
It's always going to be a tricky one and it always was. There were problems with variation in colour slide projection as well.

You can calibrate a projector using a colormunki too. We did at Oldham CC a month or so back - improved it no end.

In this case would it be the right thing to turn up or down the temperature of the image, in RAW, before making any other adjustments.
I have noticed some of my images don't look the same projected as they do on the computer (usually show darker some detail lost or some garish colours)
