detailed engineering (stage/phase)
Try adding "stage/phase" in the second instance (in fact, this would work for all three items, and I'd consciously avoid "report" as being too specific/narrow).
Also, "detail* engineering" looks a bit awkward to me in the English. I'd prefer using "detail*ed" and translate as "during/in (the course of) the detailed engineering stage/phase".
