This is not bulletproof; 
Windows cmd may do the handling for the batch interpreter.

Do not use a batch file, but a plain executable to test:

program mytest;

Var
  i : integer;
begin
   For I:=1 to ParamCount do
    Writeln(I,' : ',Paramstr(i));
end.

and test then with

mytest -o"My Test Project.exe" C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\project1.lpr

Only then we'll know who does the interpreting of the quotes.

In case it still differs, this doesn't explain why Marco's example works fine.
He seems to be using the same executable. Maybe different windows versions
handle it differently...
