Enabling Low Power mode should - amongst other power saving strategies - limit your iPad's frame rate:

Settings > Battery > Low Power Mode - set to ON

You can also limit your iPad's Frame Rate in Accessibility settings:

Settings > Accessibility > [Vision] Motion > Limit Frame Rate - set to ON

LP, frame rate and refresh rate are two different things. The OP needs to change the display refresh rate so that the iPad can sync to the projector which apparently does not support the iPad's normal 60Hz refresh rate.

I don't think changing the frame rate does anything to change the refresh. If there's a way to set an iPad to a 50Hz refresh rate, I haven't been able to find it.

Regards.
