review Explanation: "The contractor and the management will review the work to be done in week 47" This is how I would translate this sentence. I agree that it does have the sense of preliminary work. Good luck! Claro |

the review Explanation: Dutch is my native language. According to the excellent dictionary by Dr Jansonius (Nieuw Groot Nederlands-Engels Woordenboek, volume 3: Rep - Z),"voorlopen" means : 1) walk in front of somebody 2) gain (a clock; to win) 3) be an hour fast (een uur voorlopen). I assume that there is an error in your text. It could read "overlopen", which means "the review". The enterpreneur and management will review work in week 47.
