budget "buffer" Explanation: That is the direct translation. I am not suggesting that you use it, leomar's suggestions are excellent. I just want to tell you the meaning of "partida colchón", which by the way, in Mexico is known as "colchón presupuestal". |

Lead time; extra time allowance; Explanation: "Because we do not know the duration of the acquired material we should supposedly allow extra time to the remaining time for finalization of the program." So, I think this refers to the timing of the program not to programming budget. Regards. Luis Luis |

buffer or cushioning amount.... Explanation: in other words, a "reserve" account that would allow for the additional expenses in case the production takes longer than expected. Saludos. Maria 'o) |
