Projecting (verb): obsolete Freudian psychobabble, typically used in place of "I know you are, but what am I?"

Yes, when they want to say "I know you are, but what am I?" but are too pretentious to say it like that.
As a psychological model, it has very little scientific merit these days.

'when you want to talk like an adult and not like a child'?

No.
He means when you want to try and hide talking shit behind long words because no one will notice that the long words are just long words for talking shit.

Many psychological models don't, but I do believe it's still used by people in that profession.
It is 'I know you are but what am I?' as an accusation, but as a label for actually quite complex coping mechanisms it holds to a certain extent.

Is this where you tell us that you're a leading psychologist and this was all an elaborate study?

This is where he says "lol I am above all this its really boring lol", and possibly does a *yawn* too.
