Explanation:
turn something around (also turn around something):
to cause a situation or organization to change in a positive direction
They were losing badly but they turned things around in the second half of the game. We've hired a new director who we hope will turn around the failing company.

actividades de paragem para manutenção


Explanation:
É a minha sugestão.
Pelo que leio da frase, são actividades que têm a ver com a manutenção de uma instalação, tarefas realizadas ocasionalmente, não rotineiras, determinadas por interrupções/paragens.
Sem mais contexto, é-me difícil.

Ex.: "... a refinaria de Sines é sujeita a uma paragem programa para manutenção..."

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Daniel Tavares: Ao invés de paragem, eu usaria interrupção. Não sei em ptPT, mas em ptBR essa palavra paragem é bem estranha.
1 hr
  -> Obrigada Daniel. Sim, sei que em pt-br se usa "parada", mas para nós "parada" é outra coisa. Seria melhor mais contexto da "asker" pois o termo pode abranger muita coisa.
