--fillInTheBlank--

--sentence--

How about we BLANK to biweekly detailed updates BLANK there's a significant development?

--blanks--

switch

--feedback--

This means to change or move from one thing to another.


unless

--feedback--

This introduces an exception or condition that prevents the action from happening.

--explanation--

Switch means to change or change from one state, system, or method to another. For example:

We should switch to using email for all important communications. – This means changing the method of communication to email.

In this context, Bob is suggesting changing the frequency of the updates.

Unless would be the same as except if. It is used to introduce an exception or condition that must be true for the main action to not happen. For example:

I will attend the meeting unless I have a conflicting appointment. – This means you will go to the meeting unless there's something else that prevents you, such as another appointment.

You could say the same using if and a negative statement with I will attend the meeting if I don't have a conflicting appointment.
