Made over five hundred European visits without protesting (10)

I believe the answer is:

redesigned

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'visits without protesting' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'made over five hundred european' is the wordplay.
'made' becomes 'resigned' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'over' is an insertion indicator.
'five hundred' becomes 'D' (Roman numeral for g00).
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'd'+'e'='de'
'resigned' enclosing 'de' is 'REDESIGNED'.

Can you help me to learn more?
