Dear Mohammad
You are likely using a pseudopotential which does not include atomic pseudo-wavefunctions in the UPF file; maybe, as often reported, one of the ONCVPS contained in the sg15 database. Thus projwfc.x cannot find atomic wavefunctions suitable for performing projections of Kohn-Sham orbitals onto.

You should look for PSP files containing the pseudowavefunctions, and if you are actually looking for ONCVPS files containing them, you should find what you need here:

Dear all,

I am trying to run pdos for Si based on the dft-1/2 method implemented by
Leonardo Matheus Marion Jorge. However, the following warning in the scf
run is appeared:

Is it a limitation in the DFT-1/2 method?
