It is quite different.

Delphi stores the unit information in the .dpr file. The 'in' specifier
defines in Delphi what unit belongs to the project and where they are.
Lazarus stores this information in the .lpi file. The .lpr file is only the
start source for the compiler. It does not define, what units belongs to the
project, nor where they are. This is a common misunderstanding for
Delphians.
You can add units to the lazarus project and remove them from the .lpr file.
Or IFDEF them. They are still part of the project (.lpi).
Normally when you add a unit to the project, the IDE will add it to the .lpr
file once. As with every automatism, this may be unwanted. Just edit the
.lpr file. It is a normal source file.

An hour ago.
Project -> Project Options -> Misc -> Always Build (even if nothing changed)
