Mercedes says that it will only decide on how to use its engine development tokens once Formula 1's pre-season testing is finished.
The FIA told teams in December that in-season upgrades were now allowed, following a challenge from Ferrari that the regulations had failed to specify an exact date for delivering them.
The clarification means that manufacturers no longer have to ensure they have done all their work by the season-opening Australian Grand Prix - as had been the original idea.
OPINION: Engine loophole is a big chance for F1
Despite the fact that there is now more time to bring upgrades, Mercedes says that its 2015 plan remains unchanged - and that it will only commit to its programme when it knows how pre-season running has gone.
Mercedes engine chief Andy Cowell said: "This decision hasn't altered our development strategy for 2015, which was always to gather the necessary data from pre-season testing in order to define and submit the engine specification for the opening race.
Mercedes officially launches W06 as test begins
"However, it does offer the opportunity to exploit this interpretation for further gain later in the season, should we choose to do so."
Mercedes could choose to hold fire on a number of potential improvements if it feels that it has enough of an edge early on. That could help deliver a bigger performance boost for the crunch phase of the title battle.
The team began proper testing of its new W06 at Jerez in Spain on Sunday, with Nico Rosberg setting the early pace.

Mercedes picked up where it left off in 2014 as Nico Rosberg comfortably led the first morning of 2015 Formula 1 pre-season testing at Jerez on Sunday.
The Mercedes F1 W06 was the first car on track when the pits opened, and Rosberg set about logging more laps than anyone else by some margin as he quickly got down to long-run work.
Follow Jerez F1 test with AUTOSPORT Live
Prior to that, the 2014 runner-up set a best time of a 1m23.106s, putting him 1.5 seconds clear of Daniel Ricciardo by the time most teams stopped for a short break around lunchtime.
Ricciardo completed a series of short runs in the camouflage-liveried Red Bull, but by the afternoon he only had 22 laps to his name and his last run had ended with smoke from the back of the car (pictured below).
New Sauber signing Marcus Ericsson set the second-highest number of laps on his way to being third quickest on a morning where very few cars completed significant running.
Jerez F1 test in pictures
Lotus's E23 only started its journey to Spain this morning, while Williams, Ferrari and McLaren's lap tallies were in single figures by lunchtime.
Ferrari sent four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel out early to get his first taste of the new SF15-T, but despite completing a handful of short runs in the morning his outings were sparse as the day went on.
Williams made a late start with Valtteri Bottas due to carrying out "double checks" on the new FW37, while Fernando Alonso made sporadic appearances on track with the Honda-powered McLaren.
In a step forward from McLaren's first test with the Japanese manufacturer last year in Abu Dhabi, the car completed a handful of single-lap runs before Alonso set one timed lap that was 17 seconds off the pace.
His fellow Spaniard Carlos Sainz Jr completed 20 laps for Toro Rosso, with the F1 rookie mainly focusing on short runs and practice starts.

Red Bull's 2015 Formula 1 car emerged for the first time in a camouflage livery as Jerez testing began on Sunday morning.
The four-time champion team chose not to carry out any form of official launch or car unveiling for the Renault-powered RB11, instead heading straight out of the garage in the surprise colour scheme without ceremony.
Daniel Ricciardo is behind the wheel for the first day of running at Jerez. Toro Rosso graduate Daniil Kvyat replaces Ferari-bound Sebastian Vettel as his team-mate for 2015.
Red Bull's chief engineering officer Rob Marshall, who has stepped into the new role following Adrian Newey's change of emphasis, said that the majority of changes from the 2014 would be hard to spot, but that significant steps had been made.
"There are some changes that affect the shape of the front of the car but beyond that most of the changes are under the skin," he said.
"We've identified the areas where we can make improvements and we've worked hard on these.
"There won't be a lot that's visible to the naked eye but a lot of hard work has gone into the bits that are hidden."
There had been suggestions in the build-up to the test that Red Bull was struggling to be ready in time, but the team confirmed to AUTOSPORT on Saturday that the final crash tests had been passed, and it was among the first to hit the track on Sunday morning.
Team boss Christian Horner had previously admitted that Red Bull had opted for its tightest-ever car build programme in order to ensure that maximum developments were on the RB11.
