Create a project budget

I am using Desktop Pro 2017 and I am trying to create a budget for an upcoming project.  I would like to be able to enter a total cost for each line item for the length of the project.  But, when I go in to create a budget, it only lets me enter monthly amounts.  Is there a way to change the format that I'm not seeing?

Use an Estimate. The Project would be on the Customer Center list, and the Estimate spans the lifecycle of the job, and allows you to use items that include P&L and Balance Sheet accounts.

Budgets are limited to Fiscal Years.
