requirement list
Explanation:
In English, in matter of work, you cannot have "cahiers", you have a list or a charter. Also, you do not use the word "demands" which would mean no compromise possible, but requirements, suggestions, or requested/suggested improvements

Thank you for your suggestion. The text refers to changes as a result of bargaining so I am considering 'requirements' or 'requests'.
