The sentence is:

This implies there might be a certain degree of __________ for outbound flows.

I want to say "relaxation" but that sounds to evocative of sitting on the sofa watching tv kind of relaxation. Is there a better choice that has a similar meaning as relaxation but is implying a regulatory context?

    What is needed is more in the way of context. The most appropriate word might, for all we know BE 'relaxation'. It is a perfectly normal word to express, for example, the reduction of restrictions. So we need is of what the flows might be relaxed, please.

Leeway. Merriam-Webster:

The new rules allow managers greater leeway in making decisions.

Leeway expresses the discretion a worker has, especially in the face of procedures, policies, or regulations.

Hence:

This implies there might be a certain degree of leeway for outbound flows.
