The main result is as follows. Let X be a Banach space and let Y be a closed subspace of X. Assume that the pair $(X*,Y^{⊥})$ has the λ-bounded approximation property. Then there exists a net $(S_{α})$ of finite-rank operators on X such that $S_{α}(Y) ⊂ Y$ and $||S_{α}|| ≤ λ$ for all α, and $(S_{α})$ and $(S*_{α})$ converge pointwise to the identity operators on X and X*, respectively. This means that the pair (X,Y) has the λ-bounded duality approximation property.
