Swedish term or phrase: ta hem underhållet
Sex år senare har de valt att ta hem underhållet igen.

withdraw support/maintenance


Explanation:
Depending on the context of course, that sentence doesn't really give us a great understanding, but I was thinking it may have to do with withdrawing funds or expertise from another office/location and rather doing the work in-house.
