terms - is it used correctly in the specified context?

Hi,

EX: "Our solution allows significant reduction of terms and cost of the construction of a new ..."

Is the word "terms" used correctly here?
(sic!) "terms" = time interval required for a new (sth) to be built??????

How about this variant:

"Our solution allows significant reduction of the time and cost of the construction of ...'?

Is it any better?
What would be your (refined) version?
