Your file is complex, and you use a lot of features. We need the approved
budget for many years in future (to compare and help doing next budgets).
On travel I tried to open your file with other program (IIRC google
calculator/spreadsheet, or maybe Apple’s number), and it gave me wrong numbers
[I think not all formulas were calculated].
So I have some doubts that in 5 year we can open that file in a simple way (and
not only the most geek of bid teams)

Only approved budget. Is also the budget that it will be used to create future
budgets.

Like the pdf draft you sent. so overview and basic assumptions, IIRC.
