project budgets

Initiative spending limits

Project budgets are financial plans that estimate and allocate costs for a specific undertaking from start to finish.

They typically include labor, materials, equipment, and contingency funds.

Managing project budgets means tracking actual spending against projections: We're already over the project budget and we're only halfway done.

In business contexts, staying within project budgets often determines whether work is considered successful.
