veratek Jul 20, 2007:
in this particular case, I don't know. I relate "cost" with "incur," but "cause" may be more common in the construction with "to" after it. (pls note: this is not an expert opinion on the question).

rhandler replied :Check your examples.
It's very easy to find examples with a noun or company name, rhandler. I won't bother posting them, not the point, all you need is Google. Whether incurred or caused is more common or more appropriate,

Veja o que significa "acarretar", segundo o Aurélio (significados 3 e 4):

[De a-2 + carreta + -ar2.]
V. t. d.
1. Transportar em carreta ou carro; acarrear, carrear.
2. Fazer frete ou carreto de; transportar, acarrear, carrear.
3. Trazer consigo; causar, ocasionar, acarrear, carrear: 2 &
V. t. d. e i.
4. Causar, ocasionar, motivar, acarrear, carrear: &

[Pres. ind.: acarreto, etc. Cf. acarreto (ê). F. paral. (p. us.): carretar.]

Os "custos acarretados a MOP" são aqueles causados à MOP pelos atrasos, etc.

Também a preposição "a" reforça a idéia, tornando "causar" o verbo mais adequado: "costs caused to MOP", como nestes exemplos:

Thank you, Rafa!
agree veratek : otima explicaçao, however, we can also say "costs incurred TO MOP" - they are synonyms

Thank you, vera-tech! They are not exactly synonyms. When you say "costs incurred to", the next word is almost always a verb (therefore, the "to" belongs to the verb), or a specified time, or the article, never a noun. Check your examples.

Just a suggestion.
In my opinion it conveys better the idea of burden as implied by acarretar
