Display label name differently to api name using VF on page layout

I want to display the a field label differently on a Product record. I have written the VF below. However, when I go to a Product record, it still displays as "Product Name" and not "Project Name". What am I doing wrong?

<apex:page standardController="Product2">
   <apex:form>
       <apex:pageBlockSection columns="2">
    <apex:inputField Value="{!Product2.Name}" label="Project Name" />
       </apex:pageBlockSection>    
   </apex:form>
</apex:page>

See if below change helps . i.e. PageBlockSection should be used within the PageBlock tag. 
<apex:page standardController="Product2">
   <apex:form >
       <apex:pageBlock>
       <apex:pageBlockSection columns="2">
    <apex:inputField Value="{!Product2.Name}" label="Project Name" />
       </apex:pageBlockSection>    
       </apex:pageBlock>
   </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Hi Glenn,
Probably you can get rid of visualforce page by following below steps.
As a system admin, go to Setup -> Customize -> Tab Names & Labels -> Rename Tabs and Labels, click Edit next to product, click Next and then you should get an option to rename the Product Name field.
Hope that solves your problem.

Thanks Lalit, I know I can do that, however some record types should display "Project Name" instead of "Product Name". How would I achieve this?
