budgetary
This term is primarily used in formal, administrative, or political contexts to describe the structural and planning aspects of finance. It carries a clinical, bureaucratic tone, focusing on the systemic allocation of resources rather than the act of spending itself. While it relates to money, it specifically denotes the framework of a financial plan. It is almost exclusively used as an attributive adjective, meaning it typically precedes a noun like constraints, deficit, or appropriation, and is rarely used as a predicative adjective.
Meanings

"The government is facing severe budgetary constraints this fiscal year."
Pertaining to the financial plan or the allocated funds of an organization or government.
