This could be a double definition.

'passed' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.

(Other definitions for given that I've seen before include "Known fact" , "Provided" , "Specified, stated" , "Accepted as true" , "Taken as read" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
