French term

DEC

French to English Tech/Engineering Telecom(munications) Installation of fibre optic link
I have very little context. The only place it appears is:

Les DEC ou travaux exceptionnels de désaturation peuvent être identifiés ultérieuriment en cours de production, dans ce cas la date contractuelle initiale sera revue.

[Retyped from a scanned PDF, assume any typos are mine].

It's an agreement with a telecom company to install a fibre optic connection and this section is talking about the due date. From context, a DEC is some sort of problem that can be discovered during installation that may affect the delivery date.

Terry Richards (asker) Nov 25, 2015:
No... I meant this context.
philgoddard Nov 25, 2015:
You said "from context", rather than "from the context", so I assumed you got this information from somewhere else in the document.
Could DEC be the English acronym for "travaux exceptional de désaturation"?
Terry Richards (asker) Nov 25, 2015:
? I don't have any more context. That's it.
philgoddard Nov 25, 2015:
Could we have the additional context that you mention, please?

Note from asker:
Thanks Alison, that looks very possible.
I have now received another document from the same customer and the acronym is spelled out. This is indeed correct. Thanks again Alison.
