10 hrs confidence:
adjusting expectations Explanation: The term usually refers to lowering expectations, hence "adjust" is good. It occasionally can refer to synchronizing expectations, such as the answer you received about "harmonizing" the expectations. In any event, if you google "he adjusted his expectations" you get 21 million and if you google "he harmonized his expectations" you get 91 thousand. |
