Spanish term

estimacion de esfuerzos

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Systems, Networks
Iberian Spanish presentation for an IT system. I'm afraid the term is very decontexualised.

The "phrase" where it appears goes like this:

ESTIMACION DE ESFUERZOS POR PERFILES Y FASES (Jornadas)

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

estimation of effort required

"effort" is a common word used for the work hours required for a particular IT project.
