Förlustuppdrag

English translation: loss-making contracts

Swedish to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Accounting / Financial Statement (BFNAR 2012:2)
Swedish term or phrase: Förlustuppdrag
Encountered the term ' förlustuppdrag' in the 'Förutsättningar' section of an annual report. Here is the complete sentence:

Exempelvis kan redovisningsprinciperna avseende tjänsteuppdrag behöva kompletteras med hanteringen av eventuella förlustuppdrag.

I've worked with many financial statements but this is completely new to me and I'm at a loss for an appropriate ENG term, so would be grateful if anyone could enlighten me.
