qui relient /s'appliquent à toute initiative/tout projet
Explanation:
I don't agree with 'par' as this would mean 'through' rather than across. Here the text is referring to economies of scale that can be acheived across the board, for several initiatives at the same time, common work packages that can be applied to many different initiatives instead of developing a plan for each and every project. The meaning is 'trans-initiative'.

Alternatively 'communs à toute initiative'.
