Ref the A330, RR Trent 700 powered, the system used for acceleration on T/O is called, Modified Engine Acceleration Schedule for Take Off (or MEASTO for short). This is what limits engine thrust to below take-off until the correct groundspeed is reached (which I think is the quoted 60 knots).

The reason the Trent 700 needs this, is because it had a tendency to surge if the throttles were applied judiciously before a good forward speed was reached.
