Explanation:
'Kontrakterende quilt' is used on the Norwegian webside of Proplantdesign. "De ulike alternativene kan visualiseres i form av en såkalt 'kontrakterende quilt'. I figuren er de kontraherende quiltene til to arketypiske kontraktsstrategier avbildet, med en inndeling i fem aktivaelementer (generelle anlegg, verktøy, prosessanlegg 1/2 og lagertanker)."

Nothing


Explanation:
I would just cut it out. Looks like another piece of corporate language garbage. 'Contracting and Procurement strategy' is a good enough header. Whatever you choose, and I bet there's no good term in Norwegian, it would sound artifical and unclear. It's explained in the second sentence anyway (matrix).

Asker: I suspect that Proplantdesign were in the same situation, they did not know what to call it :-)
