English translation:separate/individual performance segments/components/activities
Explanation:
"These (completion times) can also be assigned to separate/individual performance segments/components/activities."

Of course, I agree this should be parsed as 'in sich abgeschlossene Leistungsteile.'

I am also sure that self-contained is the more nuanced qualifier and closer to the German. Not convinced that it gets a lot of use, though.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Agree, self-contained doesn’t sound right even if it is does actual mean that.

agree  Steffen Walter: I quite like 'separate', but I would use 'work' and/or 'service' instead of 'performance'. The latter is most commonly associated with '(contractual) performance' ('[Vertrags]erfüllung').
