You don't resize it. You Crop it with the dimensions that match you output device. In you case 1400x1050 is a 4 by 3 ratio. So crop the picture using "aspect ratio = 4x3". Then export the picture for displaying on the projector.
How do you use the projector?
As a school teacher I found that most projectors had moderately crummy optics. My answer was to run the projector from my laptop. On the laptop, I would go into full screen mode. Didn't matter what the image was it filled the screen. This also gave me the option of zooming in on a detail, bringing up multiple images to compare etc.
If you have to bring the images to the club meetings on a thumb drive, then a careful crop (You probably want to do that anyway. People who don't need to crop have names like Ansel Adams) Now follow frank's advice and export with fit within.
You could also create an export preset and set the size to to Fix within pixels and the size to your requirements.
