General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters | | Dutch term or phrase: buiten de wolken | Het is wel zo dat in §3.2. zal worden aangetoond dat een deel van xxx
een “as built” status dient te hebben, meer bepaald het deel buiten de wolken.
Text concerns a dispute regarding specifications related to a construction project (oil pipe line). I can't imagine that 'buiten de wolken' is meant literally here, but I have not come across this expression. TIA for any clues |
