I understand that the Project Company has not waived the conditions, but its a bit tricky to state this, help appreciated thanks, for a power purchase agreement

Dans les quarante-cinq (45) jours de la date de réalisation de l'ensemble des conditions suspensives stipulées à l'Article 4.1 auxquelles il n'aurait pas été renoncé conformément aux stipulations des Articles 4.1(c) et 4.1(d), la Société de Projet devra remettre à xxx des copies intégrales et signées du Contrat de Construction, du Contrat de Fourniture des Turbines (le cas échéant), des Contrats de Financement et du Contrat d'Exploitation et de Maintenance (le cas échéant), accompagnés, le cas échéant, de toutes leurs pièces jointes et annexes.

which have not been waived

Tragedyqueen is right - her suggestion "which have not been waived in accordance with the provisions..." is better than the answer which she said she agreed with.

"would not have been waived" doesn't sound like legal phraseology, IMHO.

A second reason to disagree with "Which wouldn't have been waived" is the use of the contraction wouldn't.

[sorry if my apostrophes come out as /']
Peer comment(s):

agree MatthewLaSon : In French legalese, a conditional is rarely translated by a "would/would have + verb" in English. It is usually "may/may have +verb" or the verb in the simple past or present perfect (here, "present perfect). You have to figure out the context to know.

You expressed it very well, Matthew, thx
agree Laura Elvin : As Matthew says. We wouldn't use a conditional in English here.
