English to Spanish Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) government funding of projects
La liquidación final, según lo establecido en Presupuestos y Calendario de Financiación, será presentada por el CONTRATISTA al gobierno de la República de XXXX y al PRESTAMISTA para su Visto Bueno y *satisfecha en el plazo máximo de* quince días previa recepción definitiva de cada uno de los Proyectos.

Satisfecha appears to mean payment here so I understand the end of the sentence as "payment at the latest one fortnight before the final acceptance of each of the Projects" or have I got it all wrong?

Does liquidación mean invoice/statement? If so, I don't think Robert's suggestion of "submitted" will work. And "previa" means "subject to", not "before".

satisfied/met/paid within [a maximum of]

satisfy -
1.3 Pay off (a debt or creditor):
there was insufficient collateral to satisfy the loan

meet -
3.1 Pay (a financial claim or obligation):
all your household expenses will still have to be met

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/meet

"Within" is fine on its own, or you can add "a maximum of" if you think it's insufficient.
Peer comment(s):

agree Adrian MM. (X) : if liquidación final means 'terminal (statement of) account' - which is its usual counter-intuitive connotation.

Thanks, Adrian, you're right, it's the final bill for amounts outstanding. Once again I failed to read the question properly, although this time my answer works in any case!

Your understanding is correct. This is how I would put it.
