detour (but pls. see)
from the context I glimpse that they are talking about building some plant, and that a certain gov.t body says its not its competence to express an opinion, albeit there appears to be pertinent an opinion expressed re. some "variante". I don't think this "variante" can be some alternative to the said plant. I think actually they are talking about a road - a project of a detour having something to do with access to that plant..., which sounds kinda ominous... maybe it's a garbage incinerating plant; hence the access road issue...

besides, I don't see why and how could they be entitled to express an opinion about a "variant" of something while not being entitled to express an opinion about that something itself!

Infatti! A naso, e conoscendo il lingo aziendale-burocratico, mi sembra che parlino di una variante di vallico che in qualche modo coinvolga anche il progetto d'impiano in questione.
