It is not prior period item, it is part of the project cost which is un committed during budget, so it is not prior period item

The expense can not be treated as prior period item. Its a part of their regular activity.

agreed, it work is done during the year as regular activity . It is not prior period exp.
In this case, if you have recd bill for estimated cost of rs. 5 lacs already , then supplement bill for increased cost is to be taken in that year in which payment is made.
