What is budget planning and forecasting for government contractors?

Budget planning and forecasting for government contractors involves creating detailed cost plans aligned to contract structures (CLIN/WBS), tracking actuals against those plans, and projecting Estimate at Completion (EAC) to maintain compliance and profitability.
