sde-year, dev-year, engineer-year, resource-year, employee-year, are all variants I've heard before.

I can understand not wanting to miss-quote something, but otherwise seems simple enough to use different language.

While those variants solve some complaints, they're a lot more specific and may change the meaning of some statements. For example, many of those terms exclude work that isn't done by "engineers". Using a term like "employee-hours" might make contractors on your team feel less valued.

Call them contributor-hours, this way only the people that slack off can be offended.
