English to Spanish translations [Non-PRO]
Bus/Financial - Accounting / project write-offs
English term or phrase: project write-offs
This is said during the earnings release of a company:

Second quarter earnings were disappointing due to a number of unusual factors including project write-offs.

I'm trying to find a translation for project write-offs.

Thanks a lot!

pérdidas derivadas/provenientes del proyecto


Explanation:
Probablemente son pérdidas incurridas por créditos incobrables.
Lo que se contabiliza como pérdida son los créditos/deudas, no el proyecto en sí.
Además si fuera "proyectos contabilizados como pérdidas" dirían algo así como "written-off projects".
