Tech/Engineering - Real Estate / Shopping mall specs [N. African French]
French term or phrase: fiche de contrôle
The first of several questions, most of which will likely be very easy for those of you specialised in RE.

"L'approbation du Projet par l'équipe ABC sera obligatoire et indispensable pour le début des travaux privés dans le local. Une fois réalisé le contrôle du projet par le RTM, une fiche de contrôle du projet sera remise, donnant l'approbation ou expliquant les indications nécessaires à suivre pour son accord."

Many thanks

project inspection report
Explanation:
French can get by with undescriptive terms like fiche or dossier where the purpose is explained or understood from context.
In English we tend to be more descriptive in the headline term.

agree  Tony M: Hear, hear! I think this is by far the best solution, it's clearly something pretty formal...
