(uniformly managed)
managed in one consistent way
Etymology
'uniformly-managed' is a compound formed from 'uniformly' and 'managed'. 'uniformly' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'uniformis', where the prefix 'uni-' meant 'one' and 'forma' meant 'shape' or 'form'. 'managed' comes from the verb 'manage', which ultimately derives from Old Italian 'maneggiare' and Latin 'manus' meaning 'hand'.
'uniform' passed from Latin 'uniformis' into Old French and then Middle English as 'uniform'; the adverb 'uniformly' was formed by adding the English adverbial suffix '-ly'. 'manage' entered English via Old French/Italian (e.g. 'maneggiare') and developed into Middle English 'manage'; 'managed' is the past participle form used adjectivally in compounds like 'uniformly-managed'.
Initially, 'uniform' meant 'of one form' and 'manage' meant 'to handle (by hand)'; over time the compound sense evolved into 'handled or administered in one consistent way' and is now used to describe consistent management or administration.
