que se haya ejecutado
A la vez aprovecho para felicitar a todas las colegas.
Cambiando de tema un poco, continuo trabajando con el documento legal y me saber cuál sería la traducción más adecuada para el término consultado. A Continuación un poco de contexto:
El Donante abonará el 60% de la Contribución dentro de xx días hábiles siguientes a la firma de este Acuerdo, el cual equivale a US$ ..... [valor del monto en letras] y el restante 40%, equivalente a US$ .... [valor del monto en letras] una vez que se haya ejecutado al menos el 80% de la primera transferencia.
The Donor will pay the 60% of the Contribution within .... working days following/upon the signing of this Agreement, equivalent to USD ..... (amount in letters), and the remaining 40%, equivalent to USD .... (amount in letters) will be paid once at least 80% of the first transfer has been spent/used.
Cabe destacar que no estoy muy segura de la posición de "at least"

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Regarding the use of "execution," I have my doubts skeptical about using that word here. Although there are several examples of its use in this sense available online, I have a feeling that it's translationese, because many instances are in World Bank documents, whereas it's hard to find this term in, say, US legislation.

: Yes, the first tranche of funds must be 80% used before the rest of the transfer is made. Very common in procurement.

| Hi Juan, Thanks for the answer, but do we really "carry out" funds? I thought that "spend" or even "use" would be a good translation, but let's wait to see the answers of the other colleagues. |

Discussion
Actually the "Contribution" refer to funds to be given for a project.
I may be wrong, but I don't see how "ejecutado" can mean spent or disbursed.
What is this money for?
...will be paid when at least the 80% of the first Contribution has been spent.
