The Project form (table name: pm_project) has 19 related lists. Where do they come from? The relationships table has nine entries where applies_to_table="Project (pm_project)". Where are the records that cause 19 related lists to be on the form?

For each of those tabs at least one of the following is true:
- The related table has a reference to pm_project.
- The related table has a reference to a table pm_project is extended from, such as task or planned_task.
- There is no DIRECT reference field, but a custom relationship has been built via sys_relationship table.
HOW TO TELL WHICH IS WHICH?
In the case of direct references, or reference to extended_from table, the related list will have a visible condition. Take the Project Tasks tab.
In the case of custom relationships, the related list won't show a filter, but rather just a table name. Take the Non-Monetary Benefits tab for example.

On the form (mine is different) click the burger menu > Configure > Related Lists:
And there you will see the Related list:
If you are not happy with it, you can adjust or create new View and change the amount of the lists. Or you can implement logics that empty related lists are not displayed.
