Dutch term

inhaalinvesteringen

Dutch to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
In an annual report for a large Dutch organisation: "De verbetering van het operationele resultaat wordt naar verwachting negatief beïnvloed door de uitgaven ten behoeve van een serie noodzakelijke inhaalinvesteringen."
I am specifically looking for an American English translation of "inhaalinvesteringen." The closest concept I have been able to find is modernization/renewal investments. Any ideas?

previously posponed investments

In my opinion, these investments are those that should have been done long time ago, but weren't because of whatever reason (market worries, lack of cash etc.) I do not know if there is any good term for this in English, so you might want to describe it.
