You are going to be piecing together my dream if this works. You may not get a room that size to function wall to wall. Even if you fabric divide the room so the two long walls are 16:9 aspect. making it 213" x 120" on the long wall. Problem with that is the short wall that is only 7.5 feet wide means you have a near 1:1 aspect for those walls.
Would it be acceptable to just use a 7.5x7.5 half of the room and pump four 16X9 projectors around all producing a 104" screen that is 51" high. It won't be floor to ceiling however. The other option would be to go with 4:3 projectors which you can get above 1024x768 but it costs. These would allow you to fill that 7.5x7.5 cube with 113" diagonal images that go 68" high.
None of these are short throw and if you try to do that full wall it wont work. You are going to have to cut half of it out and live with 16:9's or 1024's for short throw.
Is this all hypothetical or do you actually have a plan to do this?
Well its real projection TV, here is what I use

What about getting a short throw projector? Something like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B11C6HW/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00B11C6HW&linkCode=as2&tag=wwwpuresimula-20
I'm going with this on a 110" fixed-frame screen.

This is old, but a good write up on screen gain - http://www.projectorcentral.com/projector_screens_gain.htm
Youll be fine with finding a screen for the room. Ive had good luck with these guys before - http://www.projectorscreenstore.com/.
They have an online chat you can use if you have any questions. Theyre quick about responding for the most part.
They actually have a 1080 ST model now. Here - http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-W1080ST-1080p-Theater-Projector/dp/B00B11C6HW . and its a low price at the moment.
I'm planning on getting the 2k Lumen Short-Throw BenQ Projector you mentioned along with building my own screen. I was planning to buy Carl's ProGray since there will be ambient light at times (living room with windows).
My question is: Will this material and projector be bright enough for a ~120" screen to be comfortably viewed from 9 or 10 feet? They don't list a gain factor for this material, but maybe you have seen it in person?
Take a look at Benq's W1080ST. I think it's more accurate to say that this LG Hecto's combination of Laser Light Source and 4K are what makes this sucker so expensive. Short Throw Technology itself is NOT expensive - it's the shit they mix with it!
Ceiling mounted, but I have 14' between the screen and the projector, if that distance is a squeeze, look at the short throw projectors, which can achieve the 10' throw in half the distance...
