There are a lot of other errors this code generates, but not the ones you have shared. They seem to be locations that are missing a multiplication operator. This must be explicitely entered.

A quick glimpse at the error message suggests your BCFUN is not the expected length of 8
Error in calling BVP4C(ODEFUN,BCFUN,SOLINIT,OPTIONS):
The boundary condition function BCFUN should return a column vector of length 8.
projfun has 8 rows, but projbc returns 7. Correct this, and this error will go away.
