leave ambiguity


Explanation:
The sentence is ambiguous.
You can leave the same ambiguity to make sure you don't misstranslate:

The budgets of the different projects have undergone modifications during their implementaion.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Jim and Claudia just so you are aware there is such a thing as "Budget execution" or "budget implementation". Check the IATE under ejecución del presupuesto or google under the term in English. That is why I posted the question. Earlier in the text it talks about las dificultades encontradas para realización de la comprobación de la ejecución presupuestal.

agree  Alejandra Estepa: Pienso igual. Por colocación, es de los proyectos. Según la estructura, se refiere a presupuestos. Pero se fueron modificanco los presupuestos a medida que se llevaban a cabo los proyectos. O por lo menos eso entiendo yo. Saludos, Ale.

  -> Gracias, Patricia.
agree  Heidi C: Exactly, the point is: if the sentence is ambiguous, you don't have to solve it! Trying to make "mismos" something else is overtranslating at best and plain guessing at worst... Saludos :)

The budgets have changed during the implementation of the projects


Explanation:
You start a project with a certain budget, but during its implementation it occurs to you that you have to invest more.
It happens when your initial calculations are bad, or if the economic situation changed drastically during the years of the implementation of the projects.
The changes are clearly in the BUDGETS.
