I want to project the display from one computer of a set of 4-10 and be able to switch between which is showing the screen on the projector quickly (seconds).
I've been looking at HDMI-switches which is too expensive.
Are there any other possible solutions? Do the online services like 'join.me' work for this scenario?

Since you've mentioned expensive restrictions, rather than purchase hardware you could use a free software solution.
I would suggest using Veyon which is designed for teachers to monitor students PCs in a classroom.
In your scenario, the PC connected to the projector is the 'teacher' and can see the monitors of the other PCs (the students) in a grid.
Like this:
When you want to view a specific screen you can right click it and view a single PC in full screen.

Assuming all the target systems are on the same network, have you considered just opening a VNC session to each of them from the system hooked up to the projector and swapping between the individual VNC windows (or tabs if you have a VNC client that uses those)? – Austin Hemmelgarn – 2018-03-13T18:42:29.250
1Here to second @AustinHemmelgarn 's idea. Something like TeamViewer would allow you to create a list of PCs you connect to. You could quickly switch between VNC sessions and show remote sessions as needed. – jrichall – 2018-03-13T19:41:11.383
