(contract) work in progress
In der (IAS/IFRS-)Bilanzierung werden "unfertige Erzeugnisse (und Leistungen)" als "work in progress" bezeichnet - vgl. z. B. http://www.revision24.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=v...
Diesen allgemeinen Begriff könntest Du auch hier verwenden - die Präzisierung "(construction) projects in progress" wäre eher unüblich. "Bestand" könntest Du weglassen und schreiben: "Increase/decrease in (contract) work in progress".
