Grid 13×13 barred grid with 180° symmetry.
Preamble 7 answers need to be changed by one letter to form non-thematic entries in the grid (all words).
The original letters of these 7 in clue order spell out an adjective, famously applied to a phrase that can be constructed from 9 letters (two of them unchecked), which must also be changed before entry into the grid, in 9 other answers.
These 9 corrected words, if taken with the 6 unclued words, might make the adjective applicable to their owner - and his efforts.
