French term or phrase: frais de mission et frais de déplacement

I am trying to estabish the difference between the two - I thought both meant travelling expenses.

Context is:

permettra de couvrir les dépenses liées au montage du projet telles que les frais de personnel, de traduction, de prestation en matière juridique et de déplacement ou de mission.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

incidental expenses and travel expenses

Explanation:
Incidental expenses are those arising from the mission. It is a bit of a rag-bag, term that sweeps together what is not covered elsewhere.

mission expenses and travel expenses

Explanation:
you are right, both are translated as travel expense but 'frais de mission' also can be translated as mission expenses which could make sense here.

Transport and other travel expenses

Explanation:
I would normally translate both of these as travel expenses too. You could emphasise the nature of the expense in order to differentiate between the two. Frais de mission seems to me to be more general (see the link for further discussion).
