Mi pregunta es la siguiente:
En inglés se dice modification to an agenda (para decir que se modifica una parte de la agenda)
o modification of an agenda
La pregunta no tiene contexto, porque en realidad, estoy traduciendo un texto del alemán al español, que supongo, ha sido traducido del inglés al alemán.

Modification, according to the Robert Collins, and other dictionaries, uses either \"to\" or \"in\". But not \"OF\"
A modification in the program, modification to the agenda, etc.

little grammar lesson - to or of
Ah, the intricacies of prepositions! Sometimes it takes a native speaker to unravel them, and even then . . .
You would say "the modification of an agenda" if you are referring to the ACT of modifying the agenda.
The concrete modification itself, meaning the resulting change, would best be called a "modification to an agenda."
This is the way I understand the difference, after 50 years of speaking English (well, about 48 not counting the first blissful 2 years when I didn't have to deal with teh subtleties of prepositions).
