The process to leave

British Prime Minister Theresa May announced on Sunday that she will trigger the process to leave the European Union without unnecessary delays.

How can I understand the part?

I think that "the process of leaveing..." is natural or if the process to leave is correct, what does to leave function as?

to leave functions as an adverbial phrase meaning purpose or it functions as an apposition of the process like "the process = leave..."

What do you native English speakers think?

Thank you so much as usual in advance.
