resources

--feedback--

This word in the plural form refers to money, time, people, or tools that are available to complete a project.

--explanation--

A fraction of something means a part or portion of the total. For example:

We used a fraction of the budget for testing. — They spent only a small part of the money on tests.

Resources are the things you use to complete a project, such as budget, tools, people, or time. For example:

The manager allocated more resources to speed up development. — The manager gave extra help to make the work faster.

In David's sentence, he's asking how much of the total project budget or support is still left for unexpected costs.
