Portuguese term or phrase: estruturante
Esse projeto de redução das causas mal definidas é desenvolvido através de um trabalho com a equipe local, um trabalho com a sociedade. Envolve o Ministério Público ... A maioria dos estados ainda não tem este projeto implantado. Onde tem universidade e faculdade de medicina, você tem ... Agora, as capitais não têm. Por isso, temos um projeto que é **estruturante**, que prevê financiamento e custeio desse serviço.

English translation:groundwork project
Explanation:
Muriel, pelo que entendi, este projeto implanta um trabalho nos locais onde o serviço ainda não existe. Então, acredito que seja um projeto que lança bases. Creio que "groudwork" funciona bem aqui.
groundwork - preliminary preparation as a basis or foundation; "we are prepared today because of groundwork that was done ten years ago"
preparation, readying - the activity of putting or setting in order in advance of some act or purpose; "preparations for the ceremony had begun" (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/groundwork)

Explanation:
Believe these 2 alternatives quite equivalent, for I don't see 'structurant' as belonging to the eng. vocabulary.
