initial/preliminary (cost) estimates Explanation: since, from the context of TIN's other questions, project has not yet got started -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-05-28 13:29:35 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another argument to support my opinion that original text is not dealing with work already performed: - a common way of interpreting the term \"Arbeitswerte\" is also to see it as denoting *values*/figures/estimates which one can *work* with on a preliminary basis - response to Hamo\'s point: likelihood has it that contracts are set up before works commence, and the whole text *is* a contractual document afaik, which is usually written in present tense |
