Jet engines are designed and certified to be safely used throughout the flight regime without restrictions. Tis true that they do wear by virtue of ablation, rubbing and cyclic fatigue, but this is to be accounted for by maintenance schedules.

So perhaps your operational department wants to baby the engines to save some bucks by extending maintenance schedules
