Portuguese term
adequação ao orçamento
Portuguese to English
Bus/Financial
Finance (general)
I understand the meaning of this term but am not sure if there is a specific term used in English.
Context:
A table showing expenses, targets etc. of a project includes: Adequação ao orçamento = 1,22
The text below helps explain it:
adequação dos tetos ao orçamento é de
1,22, isto é, ultrapassa em 22%.
I have put "Fit-to-budget factor" provisionally, but obviously that's a term I've just invented, is there a common term for this? Thanks for any ideas and help.

budget compliance ratio
Well, neither I know of a similar expression in English, but you know how these folks fancy portmanteaus.
It seems like some kind of ratio to me, thus my suggestion above.

Note from asker:
| Obrigado Claudio, este realmente é um termo comum, mas aqui se trata da relação para adequar os tetos (as despesas) ao orçamento ... não ajustar o orçamento em si. O orçamento vai continuar igual. |

: Not so. Context here is not adjustment, but whether or not an item cap meets the proposed budget. A ratio exists to measure this compliance, but nothing indicating or asking for adjustment.

budget cap
It seems that that is the term used in the U.S.A. Isn´t that the meaning? A project must include a limit to a budget, which is called "budget cap" in English. See search results that follows:
