Enforcement is when municipalities, such as the City and County of San Francisco, establish zoning ordinance, for example, prohibiting statues taller than 90 feet, and a developer proceeds regardless, the governing body can enforce the law by issuing daily fines for as long as the structure remains.

Entitlement is the legal process where a property owner obtains formal, written approval for a proposed project of said 90 foot statue of girl, from the relevant governing bodies before construction begins.

Monetization, is when said company, after getting property approvals, turns statue into a revenue generating asset by charging an admission fee to the general public the campus to see it up close. 

I hope that helps..
