se vêem levadas (difficult sentence)

This is a very difficult sentence about the theory of action research and I'm not sure that I understand the meaning of "se vêem levadas" here. Part of the problem is that it is a very short quotation, out of context, from a longer work. Here it is:
"(...) a orientação de um projecto de investigação-acção implica entrosar metodologias de investigação com praxologias da acção, sem esquecer a viabilidade da execução do projecto no seu conjunto, tendo em conta as contingências e constrangimentos inerentes a qualquer intervenção. Implica o recurso a sensibilidades que, não sendo as mesmas, **se vêem levadas**, de forma inequívoca, a serem comunicantes, não de forma incidental, mas de modo estrutural/estruturante."
If anybody wants to go so far as to try to unravel the whole of the sentence beginning "Implica...", so much better.

end up needing to be OR: need to be
Wow! Here's my interpretation:
'This involves sensitive feelings which, since they are not all the same, end up needing to be communicated unequivocally, and not in just an incidental way but systematically, within an overall structure.
