My request to the business partner regarding the project resources was declined.
The business partner declined my request to extend the project timeline.
You might have requested the business partner to provide more resources for the project you are managing, but the business partner refused stating that the resources already provided were more than enough. In this case, the noun 'resources' means 'a stock or supply of money, materials, staff, and other assets that can be drawn on by a person or organization in order to function effectively'.
In the second sentence, you are reporting to your boss that due to the fact that the project timeline is short and that the project may not be completed in that time span, you requested the
business partner to extend it.
However, the business partner declined the request, stating that he needed the project to be delivered as soon as possible.

If you ask someone for something, that is a request, and they can refuse to give you what you ask for or to comply with your request, showing that they are not cooperating. This works in business as well as in other situations. If your request is denied, that is less negative than in the first example. Furthermore, sometimes a simple, "no" is given to a request, and this is all that needs to be repeated.

If you are trying to describe that your request has been declined it is very important to first state the third party (business partner) who is involved and rejected your request. There are many different synonyms which can be used for request, another including a proposal. By telling your boss that your proposal has been declined by your business partner will allow your boss to understand your current situation.
