You shouldn't have to. Or at least only once. Then upon plug/unplug or switch
on/off kscreen should switch the layout automatically changing the primary to
the one that you selected.
Alternatively the "Display Configuration" entry in the systray could have a
layout selection of nameable layouts that you pre-configured.
e.g. "Projector Gaming" where the projector is then primary and "Normal
Desktop", where the projector is off.

While Windows generally sucks for multi-monitor use, this is one of the few
things they get right.
I only configured my working laptop once for the 3 environments I use (Office
with 2 external screens, Home with 1 external screen and mobile with only the
laptop screen) and it switches automatically and reliably between the three if
the corresponding external screens are available.
Plasma on the other hand is a real pain when it comes to multi-monitor. Even
nowadays it keeps shifting around backgrounds and screens after a couple of
sessions even without any hardware changes.
This is so annoying that I basically gave up doing much configuration of the
desktop/panel/etc. because it'll be obsolete soon enough anyway.
