You have 2 variations.

1) use softdevice like already suggested

2) if projector supports 15.625kHz signal from VGA-port make RGB cable and sync splitter. Normally minimum VGA is 31kHz signals, but projectors might support 15.625kHz. If not you'd need linedoubler-device.

For this the softdevice-solutions are better. And they 'support' automatic 4:3 and 16:9 switching.

But first you should see if you can feed 50Hz signal with that resolution to your projector. Without that your picture will not be smooth because you have 60Hz VGA-output and 50Hz TV-signal.
Also check overscan with that.
