i have projected a rectangular trajectory on a cylindrical
surface!! so how could the material be cut?? could it be
cut using the extrude cut option? i mean the projected
figure could be extruded or not??
 
Firstly, why project a Rectangle on a cylindrical surface and then cut. You might as well use the Rectangle to cut. Projections are generally used to sweep a profile.
 
Select the trajectory on the cylinder and hit the 'variable section sweep" button. Then hit the sketch tab and sketch your cross section.
