Projected change vs changed vs changes

Dear all,

The projected change in the mean daily maximum and minimum temperatures relative to the period 1976-2005 are 0.8 o C and 5.3 o C, respectively.

For the sentence above (in italics), I have been told that 'projected change' is wrong. Can anyone tell me why it is wrong? Also, how do I differentiate between 'change, changed, changes' ? I have been told that 'projected' is already specific to changes, hence, no such thing as 'projected changes'.

In the case of the sentence above, would the right answer be 'projected changed'?

Thank you
