Notice fair-minded people with little time producing change (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adjustment

'change' is the definition.
(adjustment is a kind of change)

'notice fair-minded people with little time' is the wordplay.
'notice' becomes 'ad'.
'fair-minded' becomes 'just' ('just' can be similar in meaning to 'fair-minded').
'people' becomes 'men' (man is a kind of person).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'little time' becomes 't' (abbreviation for time).
'ad'+'just'+'men'+'t'='ADJUSTMENT'

'producing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for adjustment that I've seen before include "Small change to achieve a desired result" , "Adaptation" , "Modification; regulation" , "Fitting" , "Ordering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
