English translation:project-oriented business
Explanation:
It's a rarely used term but the way it's used in http://www.newzglobe.com/sv/newsdesk/delarsrapport-q1 makes me believe "project-oriented business" is a way to render it in English.

Hi there. Thanks for this. After more discussion with the client, it's actually "contract business", i.e. a company may have a lot of individual contracts for individual projects, and then they have standard business that is based on customers with no contract. thanks for your help nonetheless.
