Portuguese term or phrase: nos aceites dos aditivos contratuais
There is no mention anywhere else of "aceites," and I'm wondering if this is a metaphor about greasing the wheels of bureaucracy. Am I way off?

Entretanto, algumas observações sobre o Banco Mundial no tocante a gestão do Programa foram colocadas. O principal problema detectado foram as diversas mudanças de consultores e gestores do Banco responsáveis pelo Prometrópole. Desde a concepção original do Programa até o momento atual foram quatro gerentes e inúmeros consultores, que ao longo do tempo tiveram diferentes formas de atuações e filosofia distintas. A avaliação é que estas mudanças do corpo gerencial do Banco promoveram descontinuidade nas linhas de ações traçadas acarretando atrasos no cronograma do programa. Ademais, em determinadas situações que necessitavam de agilidade no posicionamento do Banco, o prazo de espera era longo como, por exemplo, **nos aceites dos aditivos contratuais**.
