If you're talking a true pico projector I think your power demands can be satisfied by 802.3at.
Wouldn't it just be worth getting an active 802.3at splitter to step down the line power to 5v for the projector and pass along the ethernet connection. That way you're not locked into a single product.
Wow, a person in the comments seems to imply it works for him. Even with an external hard driver provided he plugs it in after the odroid boots.
Since I'm going to be running these as headless servers maybe I'll snag one and see how it goes. Thanks for the link!
EDIT: This seems like a better option. And someone in the Q&A confirms it works with an XU4. It's a little expensive though. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NH8QSOY/
So I bought these instead: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DV1XKZ4
