El Administrador informó a la asamblea que se había incluido una previsión en el presupuesto de X Euros en caso que la Comunidad pierda el pleito interpuesto por el X contra la misma por atrasos impagados.

allowance


Explanation:
Hola!
Las previsiones son allowances en inglés.
Las provisiones son provisions en inglés.

La diferencia es que las provisiones tienen un grado de certeza mayor.
