- a vertex is represented by a pair of x, y coordinates in the plane;
- a polygon is represented as a list of vertices;
- a projection is represented by a JSON object {min, max}

The task description doesn't say whether the polygons are 2D or 3D and whether they're convex or not. So for now, I've assumed the simplest case of 2D convex polygons though a non-convex polygon can always be decomposed into a combination of convex polygons.
The approach here is based on the Separating Axis theorem ("SAT"). See here for a simple explanation of this with pseudo-code.
