English term or phrase: trade-off
Trade-offs can exist between static efficiency and dynamics. From the perspective of long-term well-being, it may be optimal to maintain static inefficiencies—possibly forever—because of dynamic benefits that might be generated by such seemingly distortionary behavior.
The idea of static versus dynamic trade-offs is familiar: The patent system introduces an inefficiency in the use of knowledge by restricting its free flow (because knowledge is a public good, with nonrivalrous consumption, when provided to an additional individual it does not subtract from that available to others).

I know Proz gives "Compromis" as a translation, but I'm not sure it is the meaning here.

Wiki - Les trade-offs peuvent être analysés à différents niveaux : au niveau du génotype, du phénotype et à partir d’une structure dite « intermédiaire » correspondant aux mécanismes reliant le génotype aux niveaux phénotypiques (mécanismes physiologiques et développementaux sous contrôle endocrinologique). Il est nécessaire de savoir comment ces niveaux se combinent pour fournir des informations sur le potentiel de réponses évolutives liées aux trade-offs.
