leave it out of the translation because it is redundant
In this context, contrastado means to verify that the measuring equipment or tools read/measure accurately by checking them against known good sources. This process is covered as part of the calibration. I would leave "contrastado" out of the translation because in English it would be redundant since the concept is already covered by the word calibrated. The translation would be "calibration of measuring/metering instruments and test equipment or machinery in accordance with the project calibration plan."

(safety?) checks
checks because I believe it is the most appropriate use of this word in this context, perhaps by using "safety checks" it carries the message across.
Example sentence:
the head of the laboratory must carry out the calibration and (safety) checks to ensure that they conform with the rules regarding the Calibration of Works

proven tested
I believe it conveys the meaning.

check X against/versus Y
I think "contrastar" could mean to check the results of the calibration versus or against (the figures supplied in) the Plan de Calibración de la Obra to ensure that they are correct/in line.
