Revolutionary/fundamental change and institutional change
They can overlap, but they are not synonyms.
Revolutionary change
Means a very profound or rapid transformation.
Institutional change
Means a change in the rules, structures, or organizations governing social activity.
The abolition of slavery was both potentially:
revolutionary in social consequences
and:
institutional because it changed the legal institution of slavery.
However, not every institutional change is revolutionary.
Changing one labor regulation may be institutional but not revolutionary.
