Una derrama
Derrama is when after paying all building fees, there's still some extra payments to make. In Spanish we say, there is a derrama of 200 Euros for example.

It is used most often in finances of a communal complex of the kind found in Spain, but not in the UK, so there is no easy equivalent in BrE. I have often had to translate the word into English in that context, and the best I can think of is an apportionment. This is not very good, because not many English people have met the word.
The community funds were insufficient to cover the one-off cost of installation of a satellite disk, so the administrator was authorized to take one apportionment payment for the project. |

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something here, but unexpected additional
fees, the type that often incurr in building expenses, are known as cost overruns in North American English. Apportionments must be a British term.

A cost overrun assumes you had a budget for a specific project and you went over it. I'm not sure this is the case for this word in Spanish.
