budgeted
Set spending limits
Budgeted functions as both verb and adjective.
As the past tense of budget, it means allocated money for a specific purpose or planned expenses in advance: We budgeted $500 for groceries this month.
As an adjective, it describes something that has been included in a budget or falls within planned spending limits: The project came in under the budgeted amount.
Budgeted costs, budgeted time, and budgeted resources all refer to amounts that were anticipated and planned for rather than discovered after the fact.
