German term or phrase: erfolgt innerhalb
Would someone be able to clarify what this sentence means please:

" Der Start erfolgt innerhalb einer Projektaufgabe mit einer Dauer von bis zu 6 Monaten"

I have translated this as: "The start [of the deployment] is established within a project task of up to 6 months." But it sounds a bit strange to my ears and I'd like a second opinion.

The full context is within this paragraph:
"Die Contingency-Methode: projektbasierter Start als Interim Manager mit der Option einer permanenten Beschäftigung bei gegenseitigem Gefallen. EIM sucht im EIM eigenen Netzwerk einen sofort verfügbaren Manager für den permanenten Einsatz. Der Start erfolgt innerhalb einer Projektaufgabe mit einer Dauer von bis zu 6 Monaten. Dieser Ansatz vermindert signifikant das Risiko einer Falschbesetzung. Dieser Einsatz wird anfänglich mit einem Tagessatz vergütet. Bei Übergang in die Feststelle fällt eine Ablösegebühr an (Näheres regelt ein Vertrag)"

English translation:assigned to a project
Explanation:
You will first be assigned to a project that lasts up to 6 months

That's how I would do it. 'Innerhalb' is not to be taken literally.
