French term or phrase: travail d’étude

This is a document about laying a railway track, produced by the project manager.

"Un plan d’organisation des études, décrivant les différentes phases d’étude et leurs enclenchements, sera préparé dès la mise en vigueur du contrat. Ce document précisera le planning des phases d’études, les prestataires et employés en charge de réaliser ces travaux d’étude, leur enchaînement, les contraintes externes qui s’y rattachent, les dates des revues de plans préliminaires et finales, et celles de soumission des documents à l’approbation du client (ou de son représentant)... "

I know the meaning is pretty clear, but it seems to me it could be "study assignments", "work missions" or something else... Strangely absent from all dictionaries, online resources, etc! NB it also has a specifically educational meaning, but this too is absent from all dictionaries, online resources, etc!
