Basically is saying you are out of resources. LABS are blocks of LE's with routing. So If you have enough LE's then it may be a routing resource limitation.

You can read up more on LE's and LAB's in this document:

Try reducing your logic if you can, and or setting the optimations for space versus speed. That may at least get you to fit.
