German term or phrase: Gleiterlöse

Gleiterlöse werden an noch zu bestimmenden Fixterminen ermittelt und auf Basis des „Milestone“-Zahlungsplanes bezahlt, wobei die bis zu den entsprechenden Fixterminen fällig gewordenen Raten nach Nachweis des Gleiterlöses nachbezahlt werden.

This comes from supplementary documentation regarding a construction project. In one of the other documents they talk about an escalator clause (Preisgleitklausel) for the fees specified in the main contract (which I don't have).

The payment plan contains the schedule for all the payments, including dates and amounts. My assumption is that the Gleiterlöse refers to any increase in the price of the equipment ordered, caused by fluctuations in any one of many factors, and which the client must also pay.
What it is in English escapes me.
