Retention is the amount withheld by a customer until a contract is completed.

or

Retention is an amount held back from the final payment until the end of a defects liability period. It is to protect the client by ensuring that all defects are corrected within a reasonable time frame after the project is signed off as completed. This money is a receivable, but it is conditional on the defects being remedied to the client's satisfaction. They are accounted for separately because they are conditional.
