French term or phrase: Plan de Levée des Réserves
In a contractual document. Here is the definition of this term:

Plan de Levée des Réserves : document produit par le Prestataire et validé par le Client, contenant un planning et des Dates Clés de levée des réserves dans le cas où le Client aurait refusé de prononcer une Recette (provisoire ou définitive).

Thanks!

Schedule for owner acceptance of repairs
Explanation:

I found this definition of "réserves" in Larousse at the URL referenced below:

Mention, lors de la réception d'un ouvrage, des malfaçons auxquelles il doit être remédié par l'entrepreneur.

Larousse likewise defines "levée des réserves" as:

La levée des réserves est l'acceptation des réfections par le maître de l'ouvrage.

A longer-winded lawyer might lengthen it to something like "Schedule for owner acceptance of repairs of nonconformities," but my suggested translation leaves it to the underlying text to explain that the repairs are for defects that don't conform to contractual specifications.

Schedule for signing off defects


Explanation:
Not that these are defects not "repairs". They have to be remedied by the contractor. As this is IT rather than construction, it will not be quite the same as in the construction contracts I am more familiar with. However, contracts for provision of goods and services have certain shared features. One of those is that money may be retained until defects are remedied by the contractor or used to carry out remedial work in default. Frequently remediation involves replacement rather than repair, but here it could, perhaps, include rewriting software.

agree  fourth: That's good BD "Reserves" is always a bit problematic. That's a good way of going about it, I think. Useful

  -> Thanks. Yes, it's looked at from a slightly different angle in French and English, but essentially the same thing.

agree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: A practical solution.

Ce qui précède est bien le résultat d'une "term search" pour "levée des réserves" donc je ne comprends pas très bien pourquoi cela ne fonctionnerait pas pour vous ;-). Peu importe, voici les résultats!
