What does смета mean here?
Смета usually means a cost estimate, budget estimate, or itemized estimate in construction, repair, or project planning contexts.
So in this sentence, it is not a general budget in the everyday sense, but more specifically a document listing planned costs.
Grammatically, смета is:

- singular
- in the nominative case here, because it is the subject of the sentence

- Смета включает... = The estimate includes...
