Could someone give me an example showing the difference between 'projection' and 'transference'?

Say it's in a conflict situation.  Maybe a man has a really bad day at work?

Something like that?

Are the 2 related?

    Transference (German: Übertragung) is a theoretical phenomenon characterized by unconscious redirection of the feelings a person has about a second person to feelings the first person has about a third person.

    Projection (noun)Something which projects, protrudes, juts out, sticks out, or stands out.

    No they're not related.
