Morphology

resourcing = resource (transparent) = resource + ing

The noun is a straightforward gerund/nominalization of the verb 'resource' with the suffix '-ing'.

Etymology

Resourcing comes from resource, which is made of re- 'again' and source 'a place you get help'. So resourcing is the process of going back to your sources to provide the people, money, or tools a project needs.
