You want the outside-staff-priority property.  Either set the
fermata's (Script.) property small, so that it goes closer to the
staff, or set the markup's (TextScript.) large, so that it goes
farther away from the staff.

Actually, I can't get the latter to work on short notice, so here's
the former:

\version "2.18.2"

\score {
  \new Staff {
    c4 c c c |
    R1\fermataMarkup ^"G.P." |

    c4 c c c |
    c2 r2\fermata ^"G.P." |

    c4 c c c |
    c2 
    \once \override Script.outside-staff-priority = #50
    r2\fermata ^"G.P." |
  }
}
