Spanish term or phrase: transferencia de las obras
Source text:

El involucramiento del Departamento de Educación (DdE) en la toma de decisiones en el proceso de mejora ha sido clave para el proceso de transferencia de las obras.

El DdE ha participado en la selección de los centros escolares, en la definición de los alcances de obras y en el monitoreo de las obras, permitiendo que el DdE se apropie y se empodere de las acciones implementadas.

Is there a specific term for this expression "transferencia de obras" or is it ok. if I translate it as "works handing over"?

works handover
Explanation:
Yes, I think you can safely use "works handover process" or "process of handing over the works", or similar.
"Works handover certificate - City, University of London

5 Aug 2009 - 3.0 WORKS HANDOVER CHECKLIST. 3.1 The following is a minimum list to be handed over. "

NB: I wouldn't rule out "transfer" either, as a synonym.

P.ej: "In order for the handover to be successful, you have to maintain contact until those exchanges are done and the handover is complete, or the transfer will fail."
