Portuguese term or phrase: De Acordo com o Vento de Cada Hora
Prezados Colegas,

Gostaria de saber a melhor tradução para a expressão DE ACORDO COM O VENTO DE CADA HORA no seguinte contexto:

"Trata-se de um mecanismo que garante a perenidade e a estabilidade das decisões do Bloco de Controle, impedindo constantes mudanças de rumo, DE ACORDO COM O VENTO DE CADA HORA."

Minha solução foi "according to momentary situations", porém, por curiosidade, gostaria de saber se existe uma expressão idiomática mais fiel ao original.

Desde já agradeço sua valiosíssima ajuda!!

Abs.
