French term or phrase: (full text below)
I just can't seem to get the following to sound good in English - too many "with"s, "from"s and "of"s (there are already four instances of "de" in the French sentence without counting the part I left off)! Any ideas would be welcome.
"...pourrait, selon nous, avoir bénéficié d'un décallage non recurrent de prise en charge de frais de développement."

could, in our opinion, have benefitted from a one-off deferral of the development costs
Explanation:
I was a bit dubious about 'one-off deferral' at first, but I have found some respectable sources to support its use:

"Lower tax revenue in 2002-03 in part reflects a one-off deferral
in the timing of tax payments from annual Pay As You Go (PAYG) taxpayers ..."
(www.fed.gov.au/budget/papers/bp1/html/bs5-03.htm)

"... pointed out to the hon. Gentleman that there has been a one-off deferral this year which has benefited small businesses immensely." (www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/cm199293/cmha... 1992-11-13/Debate-3.html)

That's the one that rolls off the tongue! -- though "prise en charge" seems to have gone by the wayside (I rather like Carolyn's "absorption" for that). Thanks for all the suggestions. My deadline's arrived.

That's what I make of it, but a complete sentence would be helpful.
