Launching a projectile and landing it in a specific spot with different elevations?

I have a starting position for a projectile and a target position I want it to land on given an initial x and y velocity.

Doing this on a level field is fairly straightforward but I'm struggling to figure out how to do it on two different levels.

I've crudely illustrated what I'm trying to accomplish:

You can calculate where it will land based on a given velocity, or calculate what velocity you want based on a given landing position, which one do you want? Since this is basically a high school physics problem with not much relation to game development, I'm not sure if this is the best site for this question. – Phoenix Apr 08 '17 at 17:49

I've provided a general method for both 2D and 3D ballistics in C# in this answer: How can I launch a GameObject at a target if I am given everything except for its launch angle? – DMGregory Apr 09 '17 at 04:12
