hi
if its a poly plane then you can use a planar projection which is under Edit polygons - Texture - Planar Mapping,

if not then you can make the file texture itself a projection. this is done when you add the file texture to the lambert. there is a selection that changes the type from normal to projection. this allows you to fit the texture to the shape.

hope that helps user added image
