"Woven" here is an adjective because it modifies the noun "change". When "woven" is a noun, as in "a woven", it describes a type of fabric that is made by weaving. The type of verbs used do not determine whether "woven" is a noun or not, but rather if the article "a" is used in front of it. Ex: Yellow and red thread are woven into the rug. ("Woven" here is an adjective) Ex: The dress pants are made out of a woven. ("Woven" here is a noun)
