: That's an interesting term. It appears to cater for cases where subcontractors might not be paid by the main contractor, whereas r.de g. is to encourage the main contractor to finish the work.

retainer
A retainer is a fixed amount of money that a client agrees to pay, in advance, to secure the services of a consultant or freelancer. The fee is typically not associated with the success of a project or based on achieving particular results. A retainer is often paid in a single, lump sum, or on an ongoing basis (typically monthly or quarterly)
