Portuguese term or phrase: para equacionar vetos decorrentes de custos concentrados
Hi everyone! I'm translating an academic abstract with the following title: "Burocracias Profissionais Ampliam Capacidade Estatal para Implementar Políticas?" and I'm having trouble with this phrase. To US English. Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Não estando submetidos aos ciclos eleitorais e de governos, burocratas de carreira disporiam de recursos técnicos e informacionais e incentivos políticos e organizacionais ***para equacionar vetos decorrentes de custos concentrados*** gerados por este tipo de legislação.

Explanation:
My thinking may be affected by the current situation in Washington, DC. As of today, lawmakers are poised to make a decision about tax reform under heavy political pressure. They have yet to see the analysis of the bill's impact being prepared by the "bureaucrats." If that information were in hand, they would be less bound to political pressure.

You might also say 'decisions' instead of 'vetoes'.
