French term or phrase: investissement à consentir

This occurs in my text and in various places on Google, but I just can't put my finger on the meaning. Any views?

Many thanks.

outlays to be made

Explanation:
Avoid 'investment' in English because the word is more closely associated with accounting treatment (must go on balance sheet) than in French. From your context, it's likely that some (or most!) of this building maintenance expenditure will be expensed, not capitalized.
