ou
ii) une avance de démarrage
Under the terms of the contract, the contractor may be entitled to refuse to actually start work or put himself in a position to start work if no advance payment for establishing that "readiness" position has been paid, even if the order to commence has been given.

: Are you sure? Couldn't it possibly be a decision to begin earlier?//It's worded rather clumsily but it might mean "the company can either postpone or bring forward the start date.." No?

delaying a decision to begin earlier would be quite strange... In addition, when the enterprise is selected, it requires an advance payment and the two way to postpone are then 1° delay the service order and then 2° delay the advance payment.
