I still have 80 lbs to lose and I've set my goal to lose 2 lbs per week which puts me at 1200 cal./day. However, even when I eat exactly 1200...or even 10 or 20 calories less, my projected weight loss is never quite 10 lbs. Why is that?

The lowest calorie goal MFP will give to a woman is 1200 since they consider that the bare minimum for a woman for adequate nutrition. So most likely those 1200 calories correspond to a slightly slower weight loss rate.
The 5 week projected weight is a gimmick though, I wouldn't pay attention to it.8
