Can we use contingency
to express we are busy with something? Is it common?
Like for example:
I have a few contingencies but I'll be free in a month.

You can't use contingency for something that you know you will be busy with.
A contingency is some thing that may happen, or may not. So it's not so much "I will be busy" as "I might be busy".
You might say
I am definitely busy for the next three weeks: allowing for contingencies, let's say a month. I should be free after that.
