German term or phrase: Lieferkadenz
"In den kommenden Monaten wird die Stadt Zürich Details der Auslieferung zusammen mit dem Lieferkonsortium klären. Es geht dabei beispielsweise um die mögliche Erhöhung der Lieferkadenz, die es erlauben würde, den Rückstand gegenüber dem ursprünglichen Terminplan aufzuholen. Die bisherigen Planungen sehen Auslieferungen bis ins Jahr 2010 vor"

It's got me stumped. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Alison

agree  Edward Guyver: "cadence" in English means "rhythm" or "measured movement". In this context the word means "frequency".
