Discounting changes ??

Dear all,



my collegue uses to say in some occasions " we are working on some discounting changes" In my opinion it is nonsense but I want to explain the situation so that you can help and give some different option for that.



-the customer received the stand design along with its price

-he says that it is too much high

-we suggest to make some modifications in the stand design so that the price will go down



that s the meaning of "discounting changes" I hope you got what I mean ..



Please some suggestions for this



thanks

Obviously your intention is to say "changes that will allow us to lower/reduce the price", but "discounting changes" isn't right. To the best of my knowledge, "discounting" isn't even an adjective.

Thanks for replying.

Yes, my colleague means this.

Expect of "changes that will allow to reduce the price" is it possible something different? I do not see any other but I m not a native speaker :-))

Thanks

I can think only of "price-cutting changes". It has the meaning you want but it's not something you hear every day.
