Dutch term or phrase: kostenbenadering
Again, from a C.V.

Introductie van life-cycle kostenbenadering, inzake de retabiliteitsberekening van nieuwbouwprojecten.

Presently translated as 'cost approximation/cost estimation. There must be a more professional term somewhere out there. Thanks in advance.

(life-cycle) costing
Explanation:
Terminologie Financieel Management [Van Amerongen]: life-cycle-costing = kostprijsberekening op basis van de levenscyclus van de produkt-marktcom binatie. 'Costing' lijkt mij in de praktijk bijna altijd een kwestie van benaderen. Ik denk dat je daarom gewoon met 'life-cycle-costing' kunt volstaan, zeker in deze context.

De suggestie van Alexander lijkt mij ook bruikbaar, maar dan wellicht: life-cycle cost estimation.

Hello Jack, I used 'life-cycle cost estimation' in this particular context (lots of hits for this on the web also). However, generally speaking, 'life-cycle costing' seems to be the appropriate term. Many thanks, Siobhan
