English translation:percentage of costs incurred in expectation of the XXXX contract
Explanation:
Has the contract already been awarded? 'dans la perspective du' suggests spending in advance of some event. Not clear what that event might be.

Don't read too much into 'investies'. It won't necessarily imply capitalisation of expenses; just outlays for a specific business purpose.

In that case, "with the XXX contract in mind" is suitably vague. As attributions of purpose go, 'dans la perspective de' is on the loose side.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, the contract is historical - it was terminated. I am beginning to thin that "for the purpose of the XXX contract" is the intended meaning as there follows a breakdown of the costs
