It generally means that said pitcher has certain traits -- like size, athleticism, mechanics, fastball speed, etc. -- that indicate he has good potential to reach some of the higher levels of the game down the road.

For instance, say a 15 YO pitcher throws in the upper 70s with good mechanics and one or both parents are tall or have an athletic build. A college coach or pro scout might say he's got good projectibility. It's simply an estimation of potential.
