You might get more helpful advice if you describe more specifically
what you're trying to do. I mean, here's one way to create a
TupleDesc (from contrib/adminpack) but it may or may not be suitable
for your purposes:

tupdesc = CreateTemplateTupleDesc(2, false);
TupleDescInitEntry(tupdesc, (AttrNumber) 1, "starttime",
TIMESTAMPOID, -1, 0);
TupleDescInitEntry(tupdesc, (AttrNumber) 2, "filename",
TEXTOID, -1, 0);

As ProjectInfo, maybe ExecBuildProjectionInfo?
