Treat "accepted with changes" as normal and respond in writing

Committees often approve a proposal with conditions. The University of Lahore's Islamabad campus guidelines list three outcomes: accepted, accepted with changes, and rejected, with changed or rejected proposals resubmitted within an agreed timeline. FAST's evaluation form has a place for recommended minor or major modifications and requires a reason when a proposal is rejected.

When you receive changes:

• Write each requested change down as a numbered list.
• Agree with your supervisor how you will address each one.
• Resubmit with a short change log: "Comment 2: reduced scope to two user types; see section 3."

Keep this change log. It shows the committee you listened, and it is useful evidence if the scope is questioned later in the year.
