directorates
Explanation:
En la estructura organizativa de algunos gobiernos (incluido el de Perú, según creo), una “dirección de línea” es una instancia adscrita a (depende jerárquicamente de) una dirección general.

La explicación es parecida a lo que dice Georgina: las direcciones generales elaboran y están a cargo de los lineamientos generales del área de su competencia, y las direcciones de línea los ejecutan.
Yo lo traduzco simplemente como “Directorate”-
-------

The Directorate of Competitive Funds (DCF), responsible for the Rural Electrification project management, was completely integrated into the regular operations of the MEM in 2007. This had a lot of positive effects for the project implementation, like facilitating of decision-making processes, sustainability and impact. Beside the national government also provincial and local governments were integrated into project execution.

substantive offices


Explanation:
En Perú, las "direcciones de línea" son aquellas oficinas que tienen una función sustantiva, es decir, que ejecutan directamente las acciones del organismo del cual dependen (a diferencia de aquellas oficinas que tienen una función de apoyo o bien administrativa).

Podría ser "substantive" o "technical" offices/areas, según el contexto.

up and down the administrative chain


Explanation:
I agree with Muriel's interpretation in the discussion.
I think this expression might work here

"La UC coordinará estrechamente con las direcciones de línea y oficinas del NANP."
"The UC will coordinate closely up and down the administrative chain of the NANP."

"Most importantly, it costs project owners and managers time and money by creating confusion up and down the administrative chain of a construction project."
