bring about
Set in motion
To bring about something is to cause it to happen or come into existence.
The phrase implies deliberate effort or a chain of events leading to a result: The reforms brought about significant changes in the industry.
Unlike simply "cause," bring about often suggests a process or series of actions rather than a single triggering event: What brought about your change of heart?
