Chinese term or phrase: 发包人委托设计配合引进项目的设计任务
I'm translating a contract for the design of an industrial building and one of the points included at the end of the contract under 其他 starts with the following sentence:
发包人委托设计配合引进项目的设计任务
From the sentence, I understand that the Buyer is entrusting somebody to do something, but the specific meaning is not very clear...
The sentence goes on with: 从询价、对外谈判、国内外技术考察直至建成投产的各个阶段，应吸收承担有关设计任务的设计人参加。
Thanks in advance!

Explanation:
P.S. There is a limit on the number of words I can type into the target term field, so I have to take out a few words.

Yes, you are right. The actual text is: 发包人委托设计人配合引进项目的设计任务，从询价、对外谈判、国内外技术考察直至建成投产的各个阶段，应吸收承担有关设计任务的设计人员参加。

引进项目 means the international collaborative project (collaboration with foreign parties).

The rough translation (just for your reference):
Outsourcer entrusts Designer to coordinate and facilitate the design work associated with the international collaborative project, whereby the designers involved in the relevant design tasks should participate in the various corresponding phases, from price enquiry, negotiations, domestic and international technology survey, all the way until completion and production launch.

The literal meaning of 引进项目 is 'imported project' (imported from overseas), but that's the literal meaning. You can derive your interpretation from there. :)

agree  Fabrizio Zambuto: with an extra 人 it makes definitely more sense! Chinese is always so tricky. One character missing and translator's life turns into hell!!:)
