Spanish term or phrase: fases de carencia y amortización
This is an article about the Brazilian housing program "Minha Vida, Minha Casa". It's discussing how housing cooperatives present projects for new buildings for approval to Brazil's government-run bank (Caixa Economica Federal). I can't for the life of the me figure out what carencia would refer to since it's clearly not a "wait period" or a "qualifying period" if the project has already been approved and is already spending the funds it's receiving (right?) Below is the sentence:

Para que una propuesta participe del programa, el proyecto debe ser seleccionado, después del análisis y aprobación por parte de Caixa Econômica Federal, organismo responsable de asignar el presupuesto al agente financiero de acuerdo con la distribución en el marco de la convención y monitorear los recursos aplicados en las fases de carencia y amortización.

THANKS!

What is the definition of an interest-only period? Simply put, it is a period of time during which you’ll only pay interest on a loan. You do not repay any of the original loan balance (or principal), so you owe the same amount of money at the beginning of an interest-only period as you do at the end.

But what happens when the interest-only period is up? Who offers these loans? And when does it make sense to get one? Here is a short guide to this type of mortgage.

agree  Adolfo Fulco: Puede ser. Esto viene traducido del portugués; tal vez el final de la frase en español es o (debería ser) "período de carencia de amortización".//Claro.

interest-only and (subsequent) capital repayment stages


Explanation:
amortización - can mean amortisation, write-off or a *capital, writing-down allowance* but in this case must mean subsequent capital repayment or 'repayment of principal' spells.

Reference: What "periodo de carencia" is.

Reference information:
http://hipotecasydepositos.com/hipotecas-con-carencia/
En esencia estos períodos de carencia, también conocidos antaño como períodos de gracia, vienen a significar que durante un tiempo pactado con la entidad financiera el usuario no deberá hacer frente a las cuotas de amortización prefijadas.

http://www.notariosenred.com/2015/05/conceptos-que-debes-con...
– Carencia. Se llama así a aquel periodo de vigencia del préstamo en que no se paga capital en las cuotas mensuales, sino sólo intereses. Es decir, no baja la cantidad que se adeuda al banco sino sólo se le paga intereses.
