%X This article explores how ideas and practices manifested in a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation-funded project on women¡¯s access to land are continuously remade and transformed as they move through the many layers towards implementation. The article builds a theoretical framework that lets us understand development projects as systems of continuous meaning negotiation and translation. It then discusses the particular project¡¯s three dominant reconfigurations of gender and women¡ªfrom instrumentalizing, to legal-institutional, to transformative and deeply political understandings of the project¡ªas it is continuously remade on its way from headquarter and towards implementation in the Indian state of Odisha
