opening minimum size
The term Schachtlichte refers to an Oberlicht (skylight, rooflight). Schachtlichte is the minimum size in mm of the roof opening to allow the right amount of light into the room through the skylight/rooflight.
You can see one on page 16 of the pdf referred to in the web references.
lichte/Licht is often used with other words to indicate a minimum clear distance

In the pdf I give as the reference Schachtlichte occurs with Oberlichte in plan on p 16. In this case they are rooflights allowing light to enter an underground room through the roof from ground level. There could be a "shaft" involved if the depth of roof slab and fill is appreciable. A shaft would be involved if you were getting light from a rooflight to a ground floor room through a roof space. So in this case "rooflight shaft minimum size 1132 mm" may be appropriate. Is that likely in your window spec case?
I came across this example first - 2 x Schachtlichte - one "a" and "b" applied to a chamber or manhole cover detail. The dimensions apply to the basic internal size of the chamber or manhole. I could not apply this directly to the context of windows or illumination. https://www.janssen-umwelttechnik.de/fileadmin/redakteur/pdf...
Passing thought - Could it be to do with solar tubes/tunnels, sun tubes, light pipes etc. "shafts" are involved in those.

Note from asker:
I am aware that the term "Lichte" refers to some opening. It appears in other instances as well, e.g. "Oberlichte". My question is specifically in combination with "Schacht". |

Fensterschachtleisten
Is it by any chance "Fensterschachtleisten" instead of "Schachtlichte"? If the window pertains to a car window it could be
window well trim
window well trim
Example sentence:

Discussion
Because "Schachtlichte" only shows up on Google in combination with "Schachtabdeckung":
https://www.glogger.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Schachtabd...
But if you say lift-and-slide door, I guess they could be talking about measurements for a "Drainageschacht": https://www.doepfner.de/produkte/schiebtueren/hebe-schiebe-s...
So the first link I posted may be of some relevance here. This "Drainagesystem" is not unlike a Lichtschacht and the "lichtes Maß" of 1132 is the width or length from one side of the opening to the other(?).
Hope this helps.
Best wishes
