Regarding the terms "Design activities" & "Development activities": are they synonymous?

I usually encounter them side-by-side, like "Design & Development" is a single term. Personally, I've become sloppy in my writing and now tend to use them interchangeably.

Anyone ever distinguish between the two?

From the referenced thread:
1) DEVELOPMENT is making changes to an existing device or (manufacturing) process
2) DESIGN is the process for creation of a new device or process
Sounds reasonable, I suppose.
Hopefully I can be more concise in my writing, and avoid always combining them into a single, wordy term! ;)

Which does not totally fit the current expectations (at least from standards).

From ISO 9000

design and development
set of processes (3.4.1) that transforms requirements (3.1.2) into specified characteristics (3.5.1) or into the specification (3.7.3) of a product (3.4.2), process (3.4.1) or system (3.2.1)
One easy way to think of it:

Design (which comes from the Latin "designare" which means ?to mark out, point out, describe, contrive.?) is the process of developing product requirements, to understand what the product has to do.

Development would be the process of transforming those requirements into technical solutions, and in the end into a product specification.
