Laureana, i contacted a moderator... bec. i had made changes to my answer initially and my changes didnt take effect. i'm not happy with my answer posted so hopefully my translation of "higher priced and time determined project" will take effect.

however, i did provide two links- that translate precio alzado as lump sum.. so.. but it's considered as an "accounting' term and i see your term catogorized under social sciences and politics. anyway... a little more text would have helped me.
