Norwegian term or phrase: arbeidsgrunnlag
"Oppdragsleder for detaljprosjekt med arbeidsgrunnlag som omfatter utvidelse av avisingsplattformer og forlengelse av taksebaner med tilhørende infrastruktur."

Can 'arbeidsgrunnlag' be translated as 'working documents' in the context of construction?

English translation:Concept design
Explanation:
Given the context I think we are one stage back from a work schedule . Here it is a broad design, from which the project leaders do the detailed design and build work.
Other translations are possible.
Ref 1 gives the root meaning -again broad, rather than detailed
Ref 2 is worth a read to see how Concept Design fits in.

work schedule


Explanation:
Take this with a grain of salt. I don't know Norwegian (bokmål or nynorsk), but Norwegian is close to my native language, Danish. The term might be 'work schedule'. The idea seems to be: a manager for a minor project in which the main tasks comprise expansion of defrosting platforms and lengthening of side lanes for aeroplanes along with infrastructures.
