Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / procurement procedures
Spanish term or phrase: secuestro (de una obra o servicio)
From an internal procurement guide:

The full sentence is as follows:

No obstante, lo anterior, el rescate de la obra o el servicio, la supresión de su explotación, así como el secuestro o intervención de los mismos, se tendrá que acordar por el Departamento ministerial u órgano de la administración autonómica o local al que esté adscrita o corresponda la tutela del poder adjudicador.

Thanks!

taking over /admin./ control (of a project or service)
Explanation:
I am pretty sure that this is a 'mise en régie' of the work item / project or service, so thge contracting authority or govt. agency 'grabs back' control.

Otherwise, the dictionary-undriven terms of forfeiture, distraining, impounding (Scots: poinding), attachment and Mareva freeze injuncting / enjoining don't really work in the context.
