Spanish term or phrase: Actual RFE
On a ficha de reclamación from a construction company to the company who ordered the construction in the first place, they are detailing why there have been delays etc, and setting new milestone dates etc, and then it says at the bottom:
Actual RFE 09-01-04.

Does anyone know what this acronym stands for?
thanks

Current RFE date
Explanation:
I think this may be an English acronym.

The general contractor has to finish base built and installation to achieve the milestone Ready for Equipment (RfE).

Ready for equipment (RFE) dates are no longer an issue in the accelerator complex where Beneficial Occupancy Dates (BOD) are now being used. However, installation activities in the Target Building are still heavily dependent on RFE dates.

current revised delivery date


Explanation:
This is an educated (?) guess. I suspect it means revisada fecha de entrega, or something to do with the fecha de entrega. But I could be totally wrong. Best to check these things with client, if nobody else has a more convincing idea

Solicitud de modificación


Explanation:
"RFE" stands for "Request for Enhancement". This is a request for modification to existing or pre-approved specifications, a change to the plans.
