What is a "non-mercerdi breach"(sp?)

Heard here: https://youtu.be/IWVZYKGTenE?t=2876 (and earlier too)

Not sure of the spelling or the definition.



She said "Nunn-McCurdy breach"

cf [1]: <The Nunn–McCurdy Amendment> "requires notification to the United States Congress if the cost per unit goes more than 25% beyond what was originally estimated, and calls for the termination of programs with total cost growth greater than 50%, unless the Secretary of Defense submits a detailed explanation"

Thanks!
