Spanish term (edited):
El grado de ejecución del hecho es de consumación instantánea
The level of planning of the offenc/se is (marked by) one of immediate completion
consumar un delito: consummate a crime, West (aka to complete a criminal offenc/se that then becomes 'choate').
Example sentence:
US Sentencing Commission: The term “instant” is used in connection with “offense” to distinguish crime for which the defendant is being currently sentenced from a prior or subsequent crime that the defendant committed.
Immediate action; The defendant must have had no realistic alternative to completing the criminal act.
Peer comment(s):

Andrew Bramhall
: The first part ( level of planning of the offence) is fine, but not the remainder,which sounds stilted and contrived to me.
