It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

Generally speaking it is helpful to allocate a sum of money and time to addressing risks when planning and budgeting your project. This is NOT a budget for general use to address cost overruns. Instead, specific amounts should be allocated to specific risks, and this "risk budget" should only be tapped into if and when specific risks are realized, and with appropriate approval/justification documented using your project change control procedures.

If you have experience with particular implementation issues or change management gaps on previous projects you should have some idea of how much money to allocate for those risks. If you don't have this kind of data you may just have to make an educated guess.
