: Now that I've looked more closely at the category assigned to this question, I think this is the better choice. I had public finance in mind with "budget deviation". "Budget variance" is the common business-oriented term. See http://tinyurl.com/42nuv3w.

budget deviation
Norstedts has it as such. See the link for the example sentence.
Example sentence:
If legislators do not hold governments to account for deviations between budget projections and actual results, a key link in the chain of accountability to voters is missing.
