The main distinction between to start and to initiate is that you initiate, the first/initial time. It would be rare to initiate something twice or more - you would only do it if the first attempt to start it had failed.
initiate - Dictionary Definition initiate: someone new to a field or activity. Synonyms: beginner, novice, tiro, tyro Hi, suppose I just set up an account on this forum. Can I greet the members with "Hi, I'm an initiate here. Nice to meet you".
Sorry It's a typo mistake, I was trying to say: It's my pleasure to initiate contact with you. Can I know why I cant use initiate a contact since contact is plural? Thank you.
An initiate (noun) is someone who has been initiated. Often the sense is of recent initiation and therefore the initiate is a beginner. Initiated is, surely, an adjective, though you could refer to "the initiated" meaning those who have been initiated. I don't think this carries the same sense of "beginner".
Note that as there is neither possession nor contraction here, the apostrophe is incorrect. As to which word works best, it depends on the effect the writer is aiming for. All are possible, but some sound more aggressive.
Your links don't mention "initiate" at all, and the second one doesn't use "bring." The first link talks about bringing a lawsuit "in state court" as opposed to "in Federal court." (Bringing a lawsuit / in state court, two separate phrases.) Neither says anything about "bringing a lawsuit in court" or "initiating a lawsuit in court." Context is everything.
