This is not enough to define the projection. Don't you happen
to have the full definition of it?

What you're getting is probably meters or feet, not lon/lat.
If you need the latter, you'll have to reproject the geometry
from lambert to wgs84 or something similar (there is no single
lon/lat for a point, it depends on what datum you have to provide
the coordinate against).

It's definitely doable, but you're missing a lot of information...
