granularity


Explanation:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=granularity&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz... reads, i.a.,
'Granularity is the extent to which a system is broken down into small parts, either the system itself or its description or observation. It is the "extent to which a larger entity is subdivided. For example, a yard broken...'
No time to research references - thus, a guess!
Note: conventions within a discipline can vary by language (e.g. koppel or moment in Dutch mechanical terminology both = torque in English. Don't know, therefore, whether English architectural term differs.

Example sentence(s):
  • Development granularity is in keeping with that of the environment.
