A restriction that must be balanced with all other constraints to achieve project success. The four primary and universal project constraints are scope, quality grade, time and resources. [D00292]

A factor that will limit the project management team's options. For example, a predefined budget is a constraint that may limit the team's scope, staffing and schedule options. [D04950]

In Auto Layout, a rule that explains where one element should be located relative to another, what size it should be, or which of two elements should shrink first when something reduces the space available for each of them.

the restriction on the functioning of a language rule in a way that it can only be used in specific ways or contexts.

In a database, a restriction specified for a certain feature class , which is validated when a new feature is added to that class. For example, a "minor road" feature class may have [..]

The step of the manufacturing process that acts as a bottleneck to the throughput of the entire process. OEE should always be measured at the constraint as it is the slowest step in the process.

(n) the state of being physically constrained(n) a device that retards something's motion(n) the act of constraining; the threat or use of force to control the thoughts or behavior of others

A constraint is any restriction on a transmission system that limits the ability to transmit power. Constraints can be caused by physical limits such as the thermal capacity of a line. They can also be caused by the need to maintain voltage and stability at various points in the electrical system or the need to be prepared for unexpected failures o [..]

A constraint is anything that interferes with the normal flow of air traffic, either in the terminal area, or the enroute area. Common constraints are weather, excess volume, and runway construction.

A restriction limiting a system's behavior and thus imposed on appropriate variables in the associated model.

Hagerstrand defined authority constraints as limitations on travel and activity performance imposed by institutional factors, such as lack of a driver's license due to age.

Hagerstrand defined capability constraints as limitations on travel and activity performance imposed by physical factors, such as inability to be at two places at the same time.

Hagerstrand defined coupling constraints as limitations on travel and activity performance imposed by requirements to travel or perform activities with another person or the requirement for a drop-off [..]

A limit or restriction relating to the operation of the electricity grid i.e. the maximum current carrying capacity of a conductor. Examples of such limits are thermal, voltage or fault level constraints.

Usually this is a relation of the form of an inequality, g(x) <= 0, or equation, h(x)=0. More generally, it can be any restriction the decision variables must satisfy. For example, some regard "x must be integer-valued" as a constraint, while others would say that this is simply the domain of the decision variables in the mathematical [..]

A restriction on the values permitted for a given collection of data.

Restriction that a design variables must satisfy, typically denoted in a mathematical program standard form as an inequality, g(x) <= 0, or equality, h(x)=0.

rule that restricts the set of acceptable arguments for a template parameter. For example "the argument must have + and - operators". Examples. D&E 15.4.

Something that constrains; a restriction. (mathematics) A condition that a solution to an optimization problem must satisfy.

A restriction that is imposed on the choices available to the developer for the design and construction of a product.
