commissioning
Formally requesting work
Commissioning is the act of formally authorizing or ordering something to be made or done.
You commission a portrait, a study, or a piece of music by engaging someone to create it: The foundation commissioned a report on housing inequality.
In military contexts, commissioning grants officer rank.
For ships, aircraft, or equipment, commissioning is the process of bringing something into active service after construction or installation: The power plant's commissioning took six months.
