Depends on the balun you get. Cheaper models do about 30m and then you can upgrade all the way to around 150m.

The projector is VGA, but on the computer side, it could be either VGA or HDMI. Can look at that as well.
Streaming video over Bluetooth? Have you been smoking the Zaza Willie?

Any recommended HDMI / VGA ethernet adapters for 40-50 meters of ethernet cable, between.

Another vote for a Chromecast.
Easy to setup, easy to share, stream directly from the web, etc.
Just lock down the wifi so no one starts casting some inappropriate content.

You can chromecast to a Android TV device - tested on - Shield TV Pro, and Telkom LIT TV box. Requires virtual screen driver. In my case, tested, Free Worship, Power Point ( Required to use Chrome Browser to cast virtual screen ) and VLC. VLC can cast without Chrome Browser.
Edit:
I would imagine that if you had a second screen/display connected to the computer, you could cast that screen, and not need a virtual display driver.

No VGA, but you mentioned that you're already using an adaptor.
You can cast power point and other apps as the Chromecast will show up as a wireless display on Windows.
