Alan's third contract is to deliver 11,500 wood and 11,500 gravel. When a contract is to deliver materials, you can't do that in advance: only materials that you deliver after the contract starts will count towards the contract. The "extra" materials are for contracts where you have to build decorations or buildings. For example, one of the two options for Alan's second contract is to build a decoration that requires 1,200 fuel and 1,000 steel. Since the contract is to build something, it doesn't matter when you deliver the materials but, of course, you must build the thing after the contract starts. The other option for Alan #2 is to deliver some gold: if you choose that option, again, you must deliver the gold after the contract is started, and gold delivered before then will not count.
