to exploit (a resource); to open up (for development); to develop

I'm developing an Android application.

For the sake of long-term interests, we have decided to sell the development department.

Since all tasks have been completed without delay, we are ready to start the next phase of development.

In order to complete the development on schedule, we request that other unrelated tasks be delayed for the moment.

Over the next fifteen years, architects, planners and community developers will work together to transform 346 acres of industrial wasteland into 6,500 homes, two shopping centres, a marina, a primary school and college, and parkland.
