Forcasting: is based on raw numbers, backed with financial statements. Evaluation of a company is mainly done by investigating the given financial profile of a company based upon the books.   

Projection: Evaluating the position of a given company, not only by the financial statements, but using assumptions and supposing other influences that might change the copanys performance or market position. 

Personal remark: Projections should be used while evaluating a company, because it might contain true information of projected sales or planed projects, that the books might not show at time of evaluation.

Budget forcasting is a process that analyzes an organization's financial statements and current financial position, and presents an assumption of how the organization will behave in the future. A financial projection, on the other hand, is a hypothesis that is based on assumptions, not actual data.
