Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / maintenance évolutive site web (ongoing maintenance of website)
French term or phrase: demande du périmètre du forfait
La maintenance évolutive concerne, pour les applications inclues dans le périmètre, le développement :

Elle comprend la réalisation et les tests de conformité.

- d'adaptations ;
- d'améliorations ;

Les prestations de maintenance évolutive sont effectuées sur demande du client et font l’objet d’un devis complémentaire, basé sur les coûts jour.homme décrits en annexe 1.

Le critère objectif excluant une demande du périmètre du forfait est la nécessité d’une phase de conception avant développement.

request for (definition of) the scope of the package
Explanation:
I think that, in this context, "périmètre du forfait" is the scope of the ongoing maintenance package. The sentence is saying that, because of the need for a pre-development design phase that will set the parameters, it is impossible to expect this scope to be defined in advance.

I agree with B.D. Finch. Per granddictionaire.fr, "forfait" is commercial slang for package.

scope of the fixed price contract


Explanation:
Je pense que l'on oppose clairement ici la régie (jours.hommes) (mandays) et le forfait (fixed price)
La maintenance en conditions opérationnelles et la maintenance corrective peuvent être au forfait, mais jamais la maintenance évolutive puisque comme il est écrit, cela dépend de la demande et se fera en régie (abaque jh en annexe)

As we all know, demander is French for "to ask". So, demande du périmètre du forfait could be either so Finch suggested or it could be a question about the extent of the said package covers. I'd say the former. Just giving you references to support Finch's answer.
