in order to prevent irritating problems/annoyances (from arising/developing)

Literally, it's "to not allow irritations to arise" or something along those lines. But I think using "prevent" would work slightly better. You could maybe say irritations for "Irritationen", but I tend to think something like "irritating problems" or maybe "annoyances" would sound better here. If you use "prevent", you don't really need to add "from arising/developing" at the end, though it works just as well either way IMHO.

To allow points of conflict to arise

Looks good in your context, I think.
"....in order to avoid subsequent points of conflict to arise, in particular in respect of the development of costs". Which, as everyone who has ever been involved in a project well knows, ALWAYS seem to get out of control...

to avoid bad surprises

"to avoid bad surprises" would be my take here.
David's and Rowan's suggestions are fine, too.

to avoid any subsequent misunderstandings

sounds a bit more natural to my ears at least
Peer comment(s):
agree Johanna Timm, PhD : misunderstandings is exactly what I would use here, as well.
