1 hr confidence:
boundary conditions Explanation: boundary conditions - Randbedingungen It doesn's sound as if it belonged to the field of accounting. My proposal goes therefore more in the scientifical direction. www.esru.strath.ac.uk/courseware/ref_material/dictionaries/ dict_Eng-Ger.htm |

1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1in this context: [ground] rules [and/or/] constraints Explanation: Excepting perhaps strictly scientific and accounting contexts, _Randbedingungen_ (for instance in a somewhat broader business context) in my view is a pretty vague term, for which the "standard" translations (for instance as cited in Schäfer) aren't necessarily always the best. I have the impression that one or the other (or both) of the above terms might fit here, depending on further context -- especially on how the rules and constraints of Projektrechnung are to be applied here. Happy New Year! Tom dictionaries and experience |
