in order to prevent irritating problems/annoyances (from arising/developing) Explanation: 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. |

6 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1To allow points of conflict to arise Explanation: 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... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2004-12-06 11:00:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry: \"....in order to avoid subsequent points of conflict ARISING...\" |
