The word מִשְׁלַחַת   means delegation. It comes from the word לִשְׁלוֹחַ, an active-simple verb, meaning to send, of the root שׁ.ל.ח (sh.l.kh).
 
משלחת ישראלית בפיליפינים
 
 
For example:
 
הַמִּשְׁלַחַת הַיִּשְׂרָאֵלִית הִגִּיעָה לַפִילִיפִּינִים.

A synonym is נְצִיגוּת  , meaning literally representation.
