French term or phrase: Nous échangeons sur vos cahiers des charges
I do not know what is meant by this term here. I am assuming it is something to do with customer specifications. The text is from a promotional web content from a digital marketing agency, under the architecture technology and web development services they provide.

Nous échangeons sur vos cahiers des charges et prodiguons les meilleurs recommandations, en avant projet et tout au long de la mission, afin de vous permettre de rester agiles et d’avancer au plus vite, tout en anticipant les effets de bord.

we discuss your brief/needs
Explanation:
I've only found one reference for "échanger" meaning "discuss",but I think it's pretty convincing:

Car discuter, échanger fait partie intégrante des créations.
Le Monde (1998)
http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/french-english/é...

"Cahier des charges" is usually "specifications", but I think "brief" or "needs" is better in this context.
