coming about
The process of something arising, being realized, or coming into being, for example a contract, an agreement, or a project.

'Abschluss' and 'Zustandekommen' can both be important with contracts, agreements, or projects. 'Abschluss' refers more to the fixed, formal moment when an agreement becomes valid. 'Zustandekommen' emphasizes that something comes into being or is realized at all, often after discussions, planning, or conditions. Learners may confuse the words because both have to do with the result of an agreement. Put simply: 'Zustandekommen' asks whether and how something comes about; 'Abschluss' refers to the completed step at the end.
