De auteur van deze zin verdient een stevige schudding. Dan heb ik het nog niet over de grammatica, maar wel over de logica. Hoe hangen de "losse onderdelen" eigenlijk aan elkaar? (Niet uw schuld, natuurlijk!)

De zinsdelen hangen als los zand aan elkaar. Zo zou ik het dan ook vertalen.

Thanks Jarry for helping me, yet, again :-)

(Next to the points mentioned above) and bearing in mind the objectives to be accomplised ..
Explanation: Yes, the original text is not congruent. But, our job as translator is sometimes tantamount to reviving a sick or dead body. And may be this verse will give you some solace:
Many critics, no defenders,
Translators have but two regrets,
When they hit no one remembers
When they miss no one forgets.
I would agree with Jarry's version.
