I think here 実施契機 means execution timing, i.e. when the above mentioned functions are called/excecuted/implemented.

Note to reference poster
Asker: Hi. I think execution timing makes sense, based on something else I found in the document. Would you please post execution timing as an answer? That way I can award you the points. 謝謝你！

Asker: Oops, I meant to say 謝謝您

agree  AniseK: Timing sounds much better than trigger. That's what I came up with.

agree  casey: I was just getting ready to enter this as an answer. I think "timing of execution" fits here.

agree  Kurt Hammond: sounds good. sort of has the nuance of "optimum timing" or "go now!"

Guys, let's try to be careful and post references to these sorts of questions. Though we can all be guilty of going on instinct from time to time (and I include myself in this), we have to remain mindful of the fact that these translations are products in themselves. Not to nag, but I would like to see more urls provided as references. Rant over ;)
