allot
Divide and distribute
To allot is to distribute or assign portions of something: Each team was allotted fifteen minutes to present.
The word implies parceling out from a limited supply—time, money, resources, space.
What's allotted to you is your share or allowance: I've used up my allotted vacation days.
