Wake up again to do some road work? (9)
I believe the answer is:
resurface
'some road work?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'wake up again to do' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'again' could be 're' (prefix meaning 'again') and 're' is found in the answer.
'wake up' could be 'surface' (I've seen this before) and 'surface' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for resurface that I've seen before include "roadworks" , "Bob up" , "Once more appear" , "make another appearance" , "Recover" .)
