ahhh so it changed again then.
Way back when I was in the loop HOPL was broken off from CLIP so it looks like it’s happened again again…
CLIP is exceedingly delayed for it to be intergrated and then broken out from a Programme Lift twice!!!

The 'programme lift' for 2024 and 2025 refers to the intermediate (not sure of the exact term) overhaul that was to have been integrated with and delivered by the CLIP project. This is the next overhaul after HOPL (which had been finished before COVID and as you say was not delivered by the CLIP project). It was the pandemic delay to CLIP which meant that this specific programme lift had to be separated from the modification works, rather than the pre-pandemic delay...

I wasn't really intending to detail the exact internal boundaries between the different departments or projects and their staff - most of which have changed (or at least changed names) since the previous HOPL programme - though CLIP is still CLIP.
Sounds like Petronius Arbiter (reputedly) at his finest....
