You can do this on using tapgesture on the label and on taping the label a alertview will show and on that alertview you can show the full text what you want to show.

this is how we use tapgesture just example :-

UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGestureRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(labelTapped)];
tapGestureRecognizer.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
[myLabel addGestureRecognizer:tapGestureRecognizer];
myLabel.userInteractionEnabled = YES;

One of the possible solutions is add a tapGesture. I've just made this code, you can try use it:

- (void)tapGestureToLabel {

    self.lblTitle.userInteractionEnabled = YES;

    UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(callAlert)];
    tapGesture.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
    [tapGesture setDelegate:self];
    [self.lblTitle addGestureRecognizer:tapGesture];

}

- (void)callAlert {
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Alert" message:self.lblTitle.text delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Okay" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [alert show];
}

You can call [self tapGestureToLabel]; right after:

self.lblTitle.text = self.project.title;

ps: Don't forget to add UIGestureRecognizerDelegate to your @interface
