Also, what are the best options of providing a source to a projector of that height? We have some wireless projectors, but they are not performing very well wirelessly.
Thank you in advance.

At that height, most projector manufacturers will not have a sufficient mount. They rarely are extendable and are intended for ceiling mount in smaller rooms. Chief or Display Devices are two reputable companies for projector flyware. It should go without saying that only a qualified person should hang the projector.
As for signal, I would recommend using Cat-5 with a balun. You will get the least signal loss over that distance(fiber is better but more pricey, less signal loss and no interferrence). While you're at it, pull a second Cat-5 if you can control your projector via Ethernet.
Speaking of which, what type of projector are you mounting? What is the size of the screen and the distance to the screen?
