Spanish term

Factura de Avance de Trabajos

Non-PRO Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Contract - Payment terms
Hello fellow linguists,
I am translating the above phrase within a terms and conditions contract for a construction project and my attempt at it sounds very clunky in English: 'Works Progress Invoice'.
Is the phrase implying that the invoice is for future work to be carried out? 'Invoice for Additional Works' for instance?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you for the context asker Hope you don't mind me saying - it's REALLY important to see terms within their surrounding text and context
Nathalie Wilson (asker) Nov 11, 2016:
Of course. It is the heading of a contract clause; below is the full sentence:
'Derecho de la ENTIDAD CONTRATANTE a retener el 10% del valor de cada Factura de Avance de Trabajos.'
Yes, I'm with Allegrotrans... Any other relevant sentences would be a great help too, Nathalie. Thanks

Invoice for work in progress

Just a suggestion although in the heading I would use something more generic like "Invoicing for work in progress".

progress billing

Progress billings are a series of invoices prepared at different stages in the process of a major project to seek payment for the percentage of work that has been completed so far. A progress billing (invoice) shows the original contract amount and any client-approved changes to that amount.
Progress Billings Definition | Investopedia

I don't think "invoice for work in progress" necessarily indicates that a required percentage of work has been completed and must be paid for.
