The correct spelling of the phrase "make hit ceiling" is actually "make it to the ceiling." The pronunciation of "to the" often gets contracted to "tuh" in casual speech, leading to confusion in the spelling. The IPA transcription for the correct phrase would be /meɪk ɪt tuː ðə siːlɪŋ/. It's important to remember to spell words and phrases correctly to avoid misunderstandings and confusion in written communication.
