the use of the work as provided by the contract OR in accordance with the contract

My comment:

as the subject of the contract is both the work and its use:
therefore actually related to both of the nouns

My comment:

To attach the word prévu to ouvrage would lead to a wording "the work intended contractually", which seems very unlikely,as the work is a fundamental and defined part of the contract that doesn't need additional description or qualification.

But like that, it is attached to 'ouvrage' and not to 'usage'. That was the problem. Should it be the contractually intended use of the work or the use of the work provided contractually (in the contract)? That was the problem

I doubt it's likely there will be much, if any, difference in meaning between "the usage of the foreseen work" and "the foreseen usage of the work". I suspect though that the contract will stipulate what *work* is to be done under the contract, so it will be the work that has to up to scratch to allow the usage sought.
