Technical debt isn't a thing you can ask the engineering team like: "give me X units in technical debt in exchange of Y units in features, please. I will pay the loan in the next months"

You cannot advance where you might need to deal with technical debt before even start. You might know: - how many technical debt there currently is in the project today - a feeling of how much components you might need to touch to deliver X

IMHO, technical debt is something you "decide to use" as you go, but hard plan to be used before even start doing.
