So I'm trying to write a speech and I wrote the sentence "...displays so little time, effort, and money spent on the behalf of networks." and then when I was proofreading "behalf" started to look weird because "networks" was plural. So I started to convince myself I needed to use "behalves" instead. Now I'm thinking that's wrong, but I just need to know what someone else thinks about this because...I'm a loser I guess :D Yeah, pretty stupid/random grammar question but answers would be nice anyway! Thanks!

Behalf is what you want to use. Behalf means in the interest of. In current British use, on behalf of has replaced in behalf, but both are still used in American English.
Behalves, no . . . . . .get some sleep! You sound tired.
