I have 2D pictures of an airplane of a specific model, taken with a simple camera, and a 3D point cloud model of this airplane. I would like to project the pictures onto the 3D model (cloud of points) based on control points that I manually locate on both ends. This should allow me to calculate distances on the 2D pictures. Is there a programming library that does this? I program in Python mostly.

You could easily use OpenCV (https://opencv.org/) to do that. Check out the solvePnP functionality. Here is a demo on head pose estimation.
