If I had around 8-12 weeks to live and have a project that is 5% complete what would the right allocation of resources be?

[drawkward]

Allocate 0% of resources of the project, and spend your remaining time with loved ones, see some wonders, give them experiences to remember you by, make things right, etc.

[gunian]

what if the project is all i have? no family or friends etc

Still travel, see the world. Experience physical reality! Spend whatever money you have to make your final days pleasant.

12 weeks isn't going to build you a legacy. So just drop the workaholism.

if there is an ideological bent, or other driving reason -- write it up! make treatise / requirements document for someone else to implement.

[drawkward]

Go see the world.

assume poverty is a big factor what is something a poor person can do? truly curious if anyone has a cheat code

I'd go for a 3-month hike. Maybe try a big one like the Appalachian trail. Sure you need some money for a tent, good coat, camping stove etc. But the day-to-day costs for hiking are minimal.

Sign up for some credit cards...

Travel on a budget working as a volunteer. I’ve done that when I was homeless and desperately broke. It was the best time of my life at the time.

Genuinely, if I had 8-12 weeks to live, the project would not be my priority, unless it was a welcome distraction. Prioritize whichever parts bring you joy, and do something about the 8-12 weeks if you can.
