15 March 2013 Provisional Financial Statements are prepared for periods already over.

For e.g, a company may prepare provisional financial statements for period April-12 to December-12 on 31st December 2012.

Projected financial statements are prepared for future periods. Say For 2013-14. Projected FInancial staements are made on assumptions of sales growth, cost inflation etc.
