Notes to answerer

Asker: Obrigado, Vitor. Mas acho que no contexto que eu trouxe o sentido é diferente, é mais uma ideia de dinheiro que deixou de ser gasto. Estou tentando pensar em uma palavra para isso em inglês mas não vem à mente.

12 hrs confidence:

averted or avoided

Explanation:
I think there are many correct answers, depending on how you translate the rest of the sentence. R$12.3 billion was saved, but that amount in payments not due was forestalled, avoided or prevented, and the making of payments not owed was prevented.

A possible translation of the entire sentence:
An estimated R$ 12.3 billion in improper payments was averted, which would have been paid had these benefits remained in place until the last installment.
