Is the word entrega the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "entrega" is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese regarding its meaning, grammar, and spelling. The only differences lie in pronunciation (phonology). In Brazil, the vowels are generally more open, and the rhythm of the word is more syllable-timed. In Portugal, the vowels are often more closed or reduced, and the "t" is articulated with a more distinct dental sound, whereas in some Brazilian regions, it can be slightly more palatalized depending on the surrounding vowels (though not significantly in this specific word).
