Spanish term or phrase: Proyecto de Recorte Adicional
From an internal recruitment consultancy memo dealing with the economic crisis.

Apparently 'recorte' can mean job cuts or outline (perfilar).

Any ideas, maybe from a native Spanish speaker, as to whether 'outline' could fit here or whether it can only be 'cut' or 'reduction'
