How did you conclude that 與 is more formal than 和？

“与”的书面语色彩比较明显，因此多用于书面语中，口语中用得比较少。“和”则在口语跟书面语中都使用。另外，在书名跟文章的题目中，“与”使用得要比“和”多些。以上供您参考。 http://www.gmw.cn/content/2008-06/25/content_796229.htm

<p><strong>开发与技术支持</strong></p>

<p><strong>开发</strong> is development as in <em>software development</em>.</p>

<p><strong>技术支持</strong> means <em>technical support</em>.</p>

<p><strong>支持</strong> by itself means support.</p>

<p>seems to be a common enough paring, here's two examples:</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/R8KoO.png" alt="2"></p>

<p>I guess you could also just say <strong>开发与支持</strong> if you wanted to cut out the whole "technical" part.</p>

<p>As an example I want to translate "electronic document workflow system <strong>development and support</strong>"</p>

<p>Translation word by word: 'development' is 发展 and 'support' is 支援</p>

<p>But googling of 发展和支援 does not give any results at all that could mean the word pair is wrong. Can anyone prove/disapprove my idea</p>

But googling of 发展和支援 does not give any results at all that could mean the word pair is wrong. Can anyone prove/disapprove my idea

**开发与技术支持**

**开发** is development as in *software development*.

**技术支持** means *technical support*.

**支持** by itself means support.

seems to be a common enough paring, here's two examples:

I guess you could also just say **开发与支持** if you wanted to cut out the whole "technical" part.

Use another conjuction that is more appropriate for formal written language: 与.

The phrase you are looking for is: 发展与支援. With double quotes (") this gives ~24.6k search results on Google.

Actually the 和 variant gives more results than the one I have quoted, but for the name of an institution, book title, or other formal usage 与 is more appropriate. In spoken language your version is OK, too. The translations for 'development' and 'support' are correct.
