had a 70% performance of duties


Explanation:
The program achieved 70% of its duties.

'Performance of duties' is the opposite of 'dereliction of duties'

Explanation:
I basically agree with the other translations my colleagues have offered except that their versions include words, which while possibly implied, are not actually stated in the source text. For me it would be better to leave the implied words untranslated since, in this case, it won't obscure the meaning and will hold closer to the source text.
