It seems correct to me. You'd better use "have grown into" instead of "have become".

It isn't wrong, but my personal preference is for this:
Slight little girls have become tall, well-developed young women.
"when changes take place" looks a little odd to me at the end, but possibly it would be OK in the full context.
