Change over time
Development is the natural course of things that develop: Development of the vaccine is expected to take several years.
Any particular change in a thing that is developing can also be called a development: We go now to our reporter in Istanbul for the latest developments.
A development is also an area of land that is built upon for a particular purpose, such as housing, retail, or industry: The area has several developments under construction that are expected to accommodate growth for the next few years.
