It’s a naming thingy. PersistentView is our concrete implementation of "something that reads events given a persistenceId”. Current discussions involve making PersistentView more usable and powerful, as the current impl does not cover many use cases.
Projections in general are simply “the read side”. Could be a persistent view, or anything else that given some events projects the data onto some other value like the average for example (think “projection” as in maths).
