According to all the major dictionaries, \"Pour l\'instant\" is the most accurate version for the English phrase \"for the time being \", although you may use other supplementary ways to express it. It is self-evident that it is \"pour le moment\" that suggests the meaning of \" at(in) this very momnet\"(Eva), whereas the exact meaning of \"pour l\'instant\" is \" FOR THE TIME BEING\". Thanks.

  -> Thank, But "pour le moment" suggests more of "in this very moment"or perhaps"at this moment".Perhaps what you need is "en ce monent" for "at this moment"?

\"dans l\'état actuel des choses\", éventuellement, quoique le sens ne soit pas parfaitement équivalent.

Ni \"pour l\'instant\" ni \"pour le moment\" ne sont adaptés à la rédaction d\'un contrat.

neutral  Karin Dyson: bien que ce soit juste aussi, je trouve que cela ne rend pas bien le sens de "temporairement" présent en anglais

  -> Quand on le précise dans un contrat, "actuellement" est restrictif et synonyme de "révocable à tout moment". "Pour l'instant" n'est pas employé dans le langage des affaires et ne figure dans aucun contrat.
