In the end I had to close this without choosing an answer. I couldn't accept an answer along the lines of "retrocession", as this is mainly an insurance concept, and I just could not see how it fits in my context. I think SJLD's comment could well be on the mark; the term really requires more explanation than a mere one-word translation. But thanks for all the effort anyway :-)

I suspect that in your case it means that the investigator presents an invoice for the total costs of services and reimburses the different service providers once this invoice has been paid. If there is a single word for that, I don't know.

is that the provider wants some 'compensation, something in return, a retrocession, which will not be forced, because he is not invoincing the total amount, but only a fraction of the official price (good for the investor...doesnt pay so many taxes, or some other interest)--or the provider wants some back as retrocession is also this:The process of differentiating or diversifying assets by consolidating and then subdividing them amongst a number of stakeholders. they are working out the investment and maybe some partnership...

Please judge me on my proposal of "handover" and not on "return of ownership". "Handover" makes sense to me in this context now that I have translated the sentence myself.
