It can also mean Expensive Change Order, i.e. you've got 500 heart
monitors out there in use at 247 clinics worldwide, and a shock hazard
is identified that requires a retrofit.

It almost always involves sucky meetings, and staff being pulled off
worthwhile projects to fix old stuff.

And prodigeous amounts of paperwork.   (I used to joke about initiating
an ECO that just incrememts all part-numbers company-wide by one).
