We define the unique (up to normalization) symbol map from the space of linear differential operators on $R^n$ to the space of polynomial on fibers functions on $T^* R^n$, equivariant with respect to the Lie algebra of projective transformations $sl_{n+1}\subset\Vect(R^n)$. We apply the constructed $sl_{n+1}$-invariant symbol to studying of the natural one-parameter family of $\Vect(M)$-modules on the space of linear differential operators on an arbitrary manifold M. Each of the $\Vect(M)$-action from this family can be interpreted as a deformation of the standard $\Vect(M)$-module $S(M)$ of symmetric contravariant tensor fields on M. We define (and calculatein the case: $M= R^n$) the corresponding cohomology of $\Vect(M)$ related with this deformation. This cohomology realize the obstruction for existence of equivariant symbol and quantization maps. The projective Lie algebra $sl_{n+1}$ naturally appears as the algebra of symmetries on which the involved $\Vect(M)$-cohomology is trivial.
