readjustment or adaptation study


Explanation:
It's a study of a readjustment and the effects which it has on the people involved. It's a process of adaptation to changing circumstances or changing places, such as adaptation to a new place of work or adaptation to accommodate a change from work to retirement.
However, in the example given, there's a change in standards and recommended procedures of work, such as the preparation of materials and the type of tools or machines used as well as the standard practices in building and construction. It's about a process of adaptation to a change in recommended practice and procedures.

Obsolescence study?

Whereas standard development, their adoption and diffusion has been the preoccupation of a number of researchers, there is almost no research done in what concerns standards in use, which addresses the entire life cycle of a standards. Notable exceptions are Moreton et al (1995) and Sloane (2000) who have looked at the factors that influence the change in the standards used in organisations. They develop a model of standards life cycle as a number of routes between the need for and the obsolescence of a standard. The model differentiates between six types of standards for information management and technology and the different routes and conditions that lead to the formation of a particular standard. However, their model looks at standard development and implementation in isolation, not addressing the interaction between the two stages.

Hi, Sandra! I have posted my suggestion as an answer. I immediately thought of Obsolescence study because I’ve only ever heard people saying ‘desfasado’ when it means something is out of date.

Note to reference poster
Asker: Liz, Thanks for your feedback. This is part of the course on metrology that looks at how standards are created. The expression 'estudio desfase' appears at the top of the image.

Asker: I think I'm going to go with 'obsolescence study'. It seems to make sense in this context, where standards may become obsolete. Thanks very much to everyone for your suggestions and help.

Asker: I's like to select this suggestion, but seem unable to do so.

Asker: Thanks again Helena. I've been able to select your answer now. Best wishes.
