flux

French to English Bus/Financial Mathematics & Statistics
This is used several times in a paper discussing the cost-benefit analysis of road construction in Haiti. I've used "flow" as a stand in, but I don't think this is right. Here are three examples of its use from the document.

1. On a utilisé des données de 2005 publie par le FAOSTAT. Pour la projection des flux de la valeur de la production agricole, on a considère comme année de base 2014. (This is accompanied by a graph)

Data from 2005 published by FAOSTAT were used. For the projection of value flow of agricultural production, the base year 2014 is considered.

2. L’entretien de la route sera réalisé sur une fréquence de 5 ans, de ce fait pour estimer le flux annuel des coûts d’entretien, on a ventilé les coûts par année.

Road maintenance will be carried out at a frequency of every 5 years, thus, to estimate the annual flow of maintenance costs, the costs have been broken down by year.

3. Après avoir calculé le flux des différents paramètres des coûts pour la construction de la route, on réalise la somme pour chaque année.

After calculating the flow of the different cost parameters for the construction of the road, the sum is calculated for each year.

stream

"Flow stream" but "flow" would almost always be dropped.

distribution

Distribution seems to fit in the context of these three statements. There are many references for distribution costs (or cost distribution).
