It should be in your interest to run the project as efficiently as possible to meet the quality but also provide the most optimum cost possible which will then increase your gainshare (and theirs). Very difficult for them to "instruct" your resource level if you think you need the level you have. To reduce the resources you may think means you might not meet the programme.
They should know it is in your interest to provide the optimum number of people as any cost saving they can make they will get a share of. If I was the PM I might be tempted to notify an early warning that they are concerned that the resource levels are excessive and have a discussion and mutually agree what ever action plan the Parties deem necessary/suitable. Talk to each other!
