Portuguese term or phrase: primeiro terço do prazo and termo do terço imediato do mesmo prazo

These are two terms that are related to the same context so please excuse me for including them together, but without one being correct, the other won't make sense.

(end of the) first third of the period / end of the following third of the said period

Explanation:
The problem word here is prazo, for which the suggested translation in Chaves de Mello is term. According to Ana Prata (Dicionário Jurídico) a prazo is a: Lapso determinado de tempo dentro do qual deve ser exercido um direito, cumprida uma obrigação, praticado determinado acto ou produzido um efeito jurídico. The standard meaning of term as an English language legal term is: a period of determined or prescribed duration (...) e.g. of a lease, loan, contract, court session, public office, sentence (Blacks). This means that the correct translation of prazo is often date, period, period of time or time limit rather than term.
