Known Unknowns - Risk events that u were aware of but cant be predicted. (Mostly environmental risks)
UNKNOWN UNKNOWNS - Which we never thought of
CONTINGENCY RESERVE for the Known Unknows are in-built into the activties or work packages, while MANAGEMENT RESERVES are planned for unknown unknowns.
Management reserves cannot be used by the project Manager.

(IMHO) You should never plan to spend contingency, and it should therefore always be at the end of a plan.
Monies which are identified to specific Risks (as opposed to Contingency) should be allocated to the time period during which the risk is likely to occur.

There are two types of contingencies for:
Known Unknowns - Risk events that u were aware of but cant be predicted. (Mostly environmental risks)
UNKNOWN UNKNOWNS - Which we never thought of
CONTINGENCY RESERVE for the Known Unknows are in-built into the activties or work packages, while MANAGEMENT RESERVES are planned for unknown unknowns.
Management reserves cannot be used by the project Manager.

I agree, contingency is money you keep under the matress for when a registered risk happens.
