Drawing from Fred\'s answer, you could also use \"early completion\" for \"Vorhalt\" and \"late completion/completion after due date\" for \"Verzug\".

Comment on Fred: For me, the context rather points to project management than to any payment issue.

This is an acceptable solution. However, I was later told that the term to use in this context is "lead".
Thanx for your help.

Explanation:
I have never known Vorhalt to mean "early payment," but it appears from the explanation that this may be the meaning here.
