constant change
Explanation:
I think they just wanted to say the same thing as in the first line without using the exact same words. Sounds pretty chaotic, constant change! Can't count on anything around here...

something that always exists


Explanation:
Change is something that is always happening. Therefore it has been described as ever-present, meaning always present or something that always exists.

reducing the ever-present existence of change
reducing the number of necessary changes


Explanation:
I agree with what has been said by my peers. I suppose, if you want to reword your phrase so that it makes better sense, in the specific context it would mean that 'frameworks' help managers by reducing the number of necessary changes.

neutral  NancyLynn: but how can one reduce the number of necessary changes? I believe they want to eliminate the unnecessary changes

  -> You're so right! Strike out 'necessary'. Or even better, your suggestion (put that in your answer). Or just minimize changes.
