Swedish term or phrase: delegation
A company issues rules: "fastställande och delegation av instruktioner"

might "delegation" be the issuance of instructions, or maybe providing the authority to issue them, ie "delegation"

Or maybe it is simply to provide them, ie send them out?

Explanation:
I think it is just "delegation." The Rådahl-Helzel Handelslexikon offers no other translation.

I think it makes sense in the sentence you provided. The company establishes some instructions and then delegates those tasks to various people to carry it out.
