Feb 17, 2016 at 17:53 comment added Romain Gicquaud Thanks a lot guys! I finally found a way out of my problem without using the question I was mentioning :).
Feb 17, 2016 at 15:39 comment added paul garrett Not without some further conditions. E.g., certain of the smooth principal series (not necessarily unitary or unitarizable) of $G=SL_2(\mathbb R)$ have the finite-dimensional irreducibles of $G$ as subrepns, but these are not complemented. There are intertwinings that have these finite-dimensional subs as kernels, yes, and the images are (anti-/) holomorphic discrete series, but there's no direct sum decomposition. (Yes, these repns are Frechet.)
Feb 17, 2016 at 13:58 comment added Yemon Choi I am leaving this as a comment for now since I don't have time to check details, but I think that if G is any locally compact group acting on $L^\infty(G)$, then the one-dimensional copy of the trivial representation is complemented as a submodule in the sense you describe if and only if $L^\infty(G)$ has a (left or right) invariant mean, i.e. G would have to be amenable. (I'll come back to this later when I have more time, and either delete the comment if I've made a silly mistake, or turn it into a proper answer.)
