Spanish term or phrase: delegación
Document from Colombia discussing parts of a contract to be amended. Context: No obstante, dada que la operación en campo requiere de cierta flexibilidad, las labores a cargo de XX cia. podrían referirse, para ciertos casos expresamente determinados, a la celebración de contratos entre XX cia. y terceros por cuenta de AA cia., efecto para el cual deberá existir un mandato especial y expreso. Actualmente existe una delegación aprobada por la Junta Directiva de AA cia. directamente en funcionarios de XX cia., la cual debe ser sustituida en la práctica por los mecanismos contractuales que se pacten en relación con el contenido de la delegación de funciones, la administración del contrato y la rendición de cuentas correspondiente.

Explanation:
Hi, Penelope: In the context you provide, "delegación" means delegation of duties. When they say "actualmente existe una delegación aprobada", they mean there exists a document by which the Board of Directors of AA has given its authorization to employees of XX to carry out certain tasks.
