I didn't see a response to this, so here's mine.
WorldPlot is simply being fussy. It is complaining because the result
of the projection is symbolic, not numerical. Wrapping your projection
in N does the trick.
<<Miscellaneous`WorldPlot`
WorldPlot [Europe,
WorldRange->{{-90,90},{-90,90}},
WorldProjection->(N[{2*Cos[#1*Pi/10800]*Sin[#2*Pi/10800]/
(1+Cos[#1*Pi/10800]*Cos[#2*Pi/10800]),
2*Sin[#1*Pi/10800]/
(1+Cos[#1*Pi/10800]*Cos[#2*Pi/10800])}]&)]
