53 mins confidence:   支出するというコミットメント
Explanation:
４ビリオン米ドルを支出するというコミットメントがプロジェクトの推進を図るために認可された。
The meaning of "pre-commitment" in this context is commitment made before it has to be made. That is, though he does not yet need to do so, somebody decided to commit to spending $4B, often with an intention to motivate others to make commitment. If it is, from your context, clear that somebody made commitment of $4B even though he does not yet need to, then you can just use the word "コミットメント.”

6 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): -1
6 hrs confidence: 案件締結前の費用・支出
Explanation:
commitment とは案件の確約です。具体的には調印を指します。Pre-commitmentとは、まだ調印前の、段階です。
例えば投資案件などで投資開始（調印する）前に、投資先として相応しいのかデュデリジェンス（DD）が行われます。DDのような予備調査のための出費などがpre-commitment expenditureです。調印前と後で費用を区別するので、このような線引きが必要なのです。
従って、この文は
「案件の進捗を加速するために、案件締結前の費用USD4Bilが承認された。」となります。
