Continuous assessment is also an option
Explanation:
i.e. instead of having measurable objectives with timescales attached you could also opt for continuous assessment (ie continuous so no timescales). I don't think you need to translate the "als Termin" in English

agree  Paul Cohen: ...although continuous monitoring is also an option. ("assessment" is not the right word, IMO, but I agree with the rest of your answer, Christine).

  -> I think you are right, Paul. Monitoring is better
agree  Bernhard Sulzer: ..can also "specify" continuous assessment/monitoring - "specify" to bring in the "Termin" quality without actually translating the word.
