Maybe they've brought it into existence already and realised only 11 people understood the last version?
I notice another definition of engender is to procreate:

–verb (used with object) 1.to produce, cause, or give rise to:
Hatred engenders violence. 2.to beget; procreate.
–verb (used without object) 3.to be produced or caused; come into existence:
Conditions for a war were engendering in Europe.
So perhaps we're going to procreate more widely?
As for the trained audience being confused with the
new mission aims, it might help to begin with if they used English. I often wonder how much of this colourful, yet pointless, use of English has to do with appearing to be more erudite than the next man. Yet I think it achieves the opposite and alienates people on the shop floor, who give up with the smart a$$ new initiatives that change nothing.
