"I think it means they want us to work within the current budget, but that's not going to be easy."
I would probably say something like:
"I think it means they want us to work within the current budget, but that's not going to be easy."
Literally: "It means (to work) with(in) the current amount of money."
Making several assumptions as there is no context, but that's my guess at the gist of it.

Perhaps you want us to do the job at our current rates, but ...
Assuming that this phrase appears in a conversation, it could be a round-about but somewhat firm decline of a request--depending on the context and the corporate culture.
A possibile translation: Perhaps you want us to do the job at our current rates, but that would be too demanding for us.
