So here’s the thing: making a project compatible is not an action.
It doesn’t make sense to say things like: we have to make the project compatible, we’re going to make the project compatible, you have to make it compatible and other similar nonsense.
Making a project compatible is just as much an action as regulating the project (in the sense of making it regulatory). Look how bad it sounds: “I’m going to regulate the project”.
Either something is designed compatible or incompatible, just as something either complies with regulations or doesn’t.
The action is to design. It is in the act of designing that it is established that what is being designed is compatible.
Designing something incompatible and later saying that we’re going to ‘make it compatible’, as if that were an independent action, doesn’t make any sense.
This late “compatibilization” is nothing more than designing again because you designed badly in the first place.
In short:
The compatibilization is not an action – you either design compatibly or you design badly.
