I am looking at this sentence - 'la procédure d'adoption s'est avérée encore plus éprouvante que nous l'avions envisagé' - and wondering why 'envisagé' doesn't agree with the 'l' that comes before it - assuming that pronoun is feminine because it refers back to 'la procédure'...?
Pronoun / adjective agreement

I think the “l’ “ refers to the previously stated idea preceding ‘que’, not just to the noun ‘la procedure’.

Hi Tom,
Agreed!
I think that it should "That we had envisaged that IT would"
Bonne Journée
