                <div style="margin-left:2cm;">

<?php 
/** Store selected in a varaible in php */
$selected = 'trial';// Suppose get the value from db here
                            for($i=0; $i<count($projects); $i++) {
                                echo "<option value='".$projects[$i]."' selected='".$project[$i] == $selected."'>".$projects[$i]."</option>";    
                            }
                        ?>

So adding the selected='true' will be used as value for the select tag
