time-based (contract) costing methods
... as opposed to unit-/item-based costing. Could this be it? At any rate, I believe that 'Kalkulation' is equivalent to '(contract) costing' in a construction context. Does your list include any other 'Kalkulationsverfahren'?
I don't think that 'zeitlich' is related to 'modern' but am not really familiar with Swiss usage of this term.

You may well be right although 'contract costing' is an established concept/term in the construction business.

modern calculation methods
Could there be a "Neu-" missing at the beginning? i.e. neuzeitliche Kalkulationsverfahren?

interim calculation methods
The first suggestion "modern ..." could be right.
It's really guessing, since there is no available context.
My suggestion is another possibility.

Discussion
I was also wondering whether the "zeitlich" is "neu-" as in current, up to date, modern or has to do with time as in timely, temporal or chronological.
