Engineer agreed to enter road given a new assessment? (8)

I believe the answer is:

regraded

'given a new assessment?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'engineer agreed to enter road' is the wordplay.
'engineer' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to enter' is an insertion indicator.
'road' becomes 'rd' (abbreviation for road).
'agreed' is an anagram of 'egrade'.
'egrade' put into 'rd' is 'REGRADED'.

(Another definition for regraded that I've seen is " given a new assessment".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
