I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'clearance' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'max?' is the second definition.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for headroom that I've seen before include "vertical space" , "enough space" , "Clearance below a bridge or ceiling" , "Space available above" , "Clearance vertically" .)

I've seen this clue in the Independent.
