the more the merrier
Personally I prefer "design assignment", but I'm old-fashioned. "Design mandate", as ModernSpeak, is all the rage (as is - or at least was, until recently - "mandate" generally).
I imagine to many people "assignment" rings of school homework, so is to be poohpoohed when you're the sort of person whose dignity expects nothing less than a mandate.
As rkillings says, a verb could advantageously be worked in here: assign, appoint are other options.

Hello,
Is this a "research mandate"? Is that what they are meaning by "étude"?

design engagement
Rather than "mandate". But depending on what "mise sur pieds" means in this context, a verb would be more usual in English than a noun: the company has engaged/intends to engage . . .

Which would be formalised, of course, in an "engagement letter".

"study commission"
I'll leave the question open for a while in case someone strongly disagrees with that translation.
