How do I document code change requirements?

We have some code changes that need to be made because they were poorly written. basically, a developer looked at some old code and has found some areas of opportunity. They are going to modify the code to make it perform better. They created a project initiation document that says they are going to rewrite the code and now they want a requirements document. To me the only requirement is to streamline the code for better performance.

It seems a little over kill to try to put a requirements specification document together for this project (which has already been completed).

What do you tihnk? Any suggestions on how I should go about documenting this kind of project?

Whitepaper from HP - Why Focus on Requirements Definition Management in the Application Lifecycle?

Increasingly, smart businesses are looking much closer at requirements definition (RD) and requirements management (RM) (sometimes grouped together under the Gartner-coined phrase, requirements definition management (RDM)) to streamline the entire application lifecycle. Why? Because systematic and effective RDM captures software defects earlier in the lifecycle, and it reduces the overall likelihood that defects will be introduced. That’s important. How important? According to one study, the cost to fix a defect after delivery is more than 100 times the cost to fix it in the requirement and design phase. No business wants to be hit with that bill. Now to add to this the growing interest in agile development techniques as a way to deliver higher quality applications and we have an interesting recipe for success.
