You can try to remove it manually by putting an IR blocking film in front of the projector.

What are you using to block ambient / daylight from your webcam-lense?
If it’s a piece of floppy-disc you should better use 2 layers of exposed photo-negative (film). I had the same issue and it was solved by using 2 layers of negative.

Yeah, buying a hot mirror, like the one here http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?ci=0&shs=rosco+hot+mirror&sb=ps&pn=1&sq=desc&InitialSearch=yes&O=jsp/product.jsp&A=search&Q=*&bhs=t&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=submit and placing it in front of the projector will get rid of the hot spot (at least the majority of it).
