assistance à maîtrise d'ouvrage

English translation: project management support

French term or phrase: assistance à maîtrise d'ouvrage
I usually go with "project ownership" for "maîtrise d'ouvrage," but when I Google "project ownership assistance" I get very few hits (just 600 as compared with 161,000 for the original French), and all of them appear to be translations from the French. Not too credible!

My context:

(see second bullet point on the right)

Target dialect is UK English. Thanks for any suggestions!
