Yeah its hard to tell without seeing what these changes are, if they are for better or worse.
I'm of the mindset that it most likely is to do with selling merch, but given that it relates to "battle gear" in the article, could be something worn for a set-piece. Could be socio-political. "Hey Gadot showed toooo much skin, cover her up damn it!"
As to the question of "why?", 9 times out of 10, making that merchandise money
When did the DCEU EVER think about "the fans" of these properties lol 
Peace.

The "why" was kinda rhetorical, as I have a pretty good idea its money from merchandising, especially toys. They all do it -- DC and Marvel -- sometimes for better and sometimes for worse, but always with an eye on making money. Captain America is one of the most iconic superheroes in the Marvel Universe yet they managed to morph him into "Captain Puerto Rico" in one of the later incarnations. I also don't believe we've ever had the same Spiderman costume two movies in a row.
I'm "hoping" it is for a specific battle like you said. Hoping more its a little more intricate than Lynda Carter's skateboarding outfit from the show or her full body swimsuit

We have had three movies with Gal in her costume.
Inserting a different costume in the cold war setting seems odd but women change their clothes all the time.
I am hopefully optimistic.
P.S. Wonder Woman's skin diving costume was super sexy.

I think the most unrealistic things about female Super Heroes is that they wear just one costume. IT's bad enough that most the men do too. (Honestly, most men don't wear the same thing all the time either! And few men/women are like Steve Jobs and wear the same outfit in a professional setting.)
I always like George Perez' attention to detail in the old Avengers (160-180) where each issue the Wasp is in a different outfit. She's into fashion and has the money. She WOULD change her outfit regularly.
As for this, I'm guessing it's a "Battle outfit" to help fight Cheetah's claws. This would explain why she didn't go back to it in the future appearances in BvS and JLA but returned to her first uniform.
And sell more merch naturally.

The only place I saw that done well was with G-Girl in My Super Ex-Girlfriend movie. She never wore the same thing twice.
In Diana's case, perhaps its just some armor she puts on over her normal costume to toughen her up more. That would still sell toys and wouldn't screw things up fans.
