changeover
Shift to new
A changeover is a shift from one system, method, or situation to another: the changeover from manual to automated production, the changeover to digital broadcasting.
The word emphasizes the transition period itself rather than the end state.
In sports, a changeover is the pause when players switch sides of the court.
