Denise Trevellyan Jan 19, 2011:
level of effort perhaps? I am sometimes asked by a client to estimate the level of effort (ie the amount of work/number of hours) needed to carry out my role on a project.
claude-andrew (asker) Jan 19, 2011:
Thanks to you all. The "charges" refer to time, operations and equipment, and are quite specific in the table in question, so any one of your suggestions would fit. I'll be tossing my 3-sided coin after supper. (Or maybe n-sided)

resources, resourcing requirement

From the description you've given-- overall need in terms of time, equipment etc, then it's common to refer to this essentially as "resources"-- this can cover staffing resources too. If it was just about time/computing requirements, then I think "workload" would also be fine: dare I suggest you could even break all the rules and use both words...

amount of work

I think you can rule out 'cost', as I don't think it could be that kind of 'charge' here.

I believe the sense is 'workload', though given the ways in which it is used, I can't help thinking that 'the amount of work (involved)' would probably be easier to fit into the sentences you have.

input

I would refer to this as the client input - in other words, what is expected of the client to ensure that the project in question is successful.

burden

I believe cost is meant, but how about avoiding the ambiguity by using the word burden
