Review the revised duties before assuming the earlier knowledge explanation still supports the assignment.
Match the evidence to the actual work
Identify what the applicant will now do and which qualifying knowledge is relevant. Recheck any principally unaffiliated worksite arrangement as well. A previous technical description should not be retained as current when the project has materially changed.
A two-year utility contract fits comfortably, and a renewal for a further two years can be accommodated by an extension petition filed before the current period ends, supported by the amended client agreement showing the affiliate still controls the work. List the remaining tasks, connect each one to special knowledge concerning company products or advanced familiarity with internal processes, and remove obsolete language from the support letter. If the assignment is genuinely tied to a commissioning window, say so in the petition as the business reason for the transfer; a specific operational purpose strengthens the knowledge claim rather than weakening it.
