German term or phrase: Kapitalanlagen
Der Verwendungszweck der Mittel wird durch das britische Capital Departmental Expenditure Limit (C-DEL) begrenzt. Demnach können C-DEL-Mittel nur für Kapitalinvestitionen oder ***Kapitalanlagen***, deren Vorbereitung und deren Begleitung verwendet werden.

The translations I've found show that "Kapitalanlagen" is "capital investments", but that's already referred to in the sentence. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Explanation:
"Kapitalinvestitionen" and "Kapitalanlagen" are often used interchangeably in German. On the other hand, the U.K. government website talks about a distinction between capital and resource spending. (See item 5 at link below) If that's what this is about, the source term "Kapitalanlagen" is wrong.
