In the process of decision making between mutually exclusive projects any cost which is left due to selection of alternative project is called the opportunity cost.

For Example:

if a person select project a and have to loss 1000 due to selection of project a, or if person select project b and loss 2000 due to it then project a has an opportunity cost of 1000 while project b has 2000.
