In terms of meaning, there is little difference between these two nouns. They both mean a plan, or purpose, to do something. However, there is a difference in the way we use the words. Intent is used in more formal situations, such as in legal contexts, whereas intention is used in a wide range of situations. It is a more everyday word. Also, in grammatical terms, intent is an uncountable noun and intention is a countable noun.
