Spanish term or phrase: estimacion de esfuerzos
Iberian Spanish presentation for an IT system. I'm afraid the term is very decontexualised.

The "phrase" where it appears goes like this:

ESTIMACION DE ESFUERZOS POR PERFILES Y FASES (Jornadas)

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

estimation of effort required


Explanation:
"effort" is a common word used for the work hours required for a particular IT project.

I think esfuerzos is probable a direct translation of this word, and It's probably a good idea just to translate it back again.
