Explanation:

A budget is simply an estimate that might serve as a guideline but by itself it cannot guarantee anything. That is why budget variances exist, both favorable and unfavorable. They are a useful tool to check the department's performance and efficiency, but even super efficient departments might not follow the budget (maybe they have a favorable variance which is good).

That is why the definition of a budget is simply an estimate or educated guess if you prefer.
