After the imagery is processed is there a way to change the projection from WGS84 to a different projection? All of our layers are in a State Plane projection.

If you can't set the output coordinate system during processing, then

Project Raster (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

and see this as well

Have you read the help documentation?  https://doc.arcgis.com/en/drone2map/ 

No, you can't change the coordinate system of the output products but for any *past* projects, if you have ArcGIS Pro, as Dan noted you can reproject the outputs to State Plane.  However, that will resample the data which is not ideal - it's better to create outputs in your desired coordinate systems from the start.

You can do this when you set up a project - go to Options/Coordinate Systems and click on the globe for Project Coordinate System.

Note the default is UTM - not WGS84.  Don't confuse the Project coordinate system with the coordinates for the input images which are WGS84.

I am encountering an issue where I try to set the Image or Project Coordinate system, but the pop-up window is too small to display the coordinate systems to select from. I put my cursor on the edge of the window in attempt to adjust size, but the cursor does not change to arrows like it would to adjust any other window. 

Attached is the result of typing "nc state plane" into the search bar and pressing "Enter" to search. I'm sure there are results there, they are just being obscured. This was happening before, but I could see a small sliver of the results - just enough to display one result at a time. Now I cannot see any results and cannot define coordinate system.

See: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-drone2map-questions/inoperable-popup-window-size-non-resizable/...

For anybody that finds this, make sure windows scale is set to 100%, then restart Drone2Map and the coord system menu will be the correct size. They are implementing an enhancement to allow resizing this window in 3.4 (ENH-000167677). Otherwise try specifying WKID or importing a system from a file.
