So this is also a perovskite?

This is from the case.wout file, yes?

I think something is wrong with your Wannier projection.  The spread is 
huge and the center is nowhere near the B atom.

I think you need to think about whether this makes sense, both from a 
physics point of view, and whether it is something one can reasonably 
expect Wannier90 to do.  If you really want only one p-orbital, likely 
you have to at least include more bands and use disentanglement.  Or did 
you already do that?

HTH,
