English term or phrase: lack of contracting resources
Project XXXX, first proposed more than a decade ago, has been before parliament numerous times but has still failed to gain the necessary support due to nervousness about allowing overseas players access to oil reserves

This impasse combined with a recent lack of contracting resources, has meant that the country’s grand goal of increasing its sustainable oil production capacity to 4 million bpd has come to little.

there are no companies to enter into a contract for this job
Explanation:
The first paragraph describes about not allowing overseas players (contractors) accessing the oil reserves due to the lack of support and agrees.

The second paragraph, in question means that this impasse (a deadlock)combined with no companies to enter into a contract for this oil job has made the country's attaining the goal of producing a capacity of 4 million bpd of oil impossible.

If the people responsible for Project XXXX has allowed foreigners to participate in the oil work and if the companies entered into contracts, the goal may have been achieved.
