Interesting. Your right, a change to a single word can make a great deal of difference. Where did you get that interpretation?

I looked up the verse in Strong's Concordance online and included hte breakdown of all the major words:

1) to send away
a) to bid going away or depart
1) of a husband divorcing his wife
b) to send forth, yield up, to expire
c) to let go, let alone, let be
1) to disregard
2) to leave, not to discuss now, (a topic)
a) of teachers, writers and speakers
3) to omit, neglect
d) to let go, give up a debt, forgive, to remit
e) to give up, keep no longer
2) to permit, allow, not to hinder, to give up a thing to a person
3) to leave, go way from one
a) in order to go to another place
b) to depart from any one
c) to depart from one and leave him to himself so that all mutual claims are abandoned

The word "Principles" means:

2) the person or thing that commences, the first person or thing in a series, the leader
3) that by which anything begins to be, the origin, the active cause

a) of angels and demons

The word "Doctrine" means:
1) of speech
a) a word, uttered by a living voice, embodies a conception or idea
b) what someone has said
1) a word
2) the sayings of God
3) decree, mandate or order
4) of the moral precepts given by God
5) Old Testament prophecy given by the prophets
6) what is declared, a thought, declaration, aphorism, a weighty saying, a dictum, a maxim
c) discourse
1) the act of speaking, speech
2) the faculty of speech, skill and practice in speaking
3) a kind or style of speaking
4) a continuous speaking discourse - instruction
d) doctrine, teaching

3) In John, denotes the essential Word of God, Jesus Christ, the personal wisdom and power in union with God, his minister in creation and government of the universe, the cause of all the world's life both physical and ethical, which for the procurement of man's salvation put on human nature in the person of Jesus the Messiah, the second person in the Godhead, and shone forth conspicuously from His words and deeds.

The word "Perfection" means:
1) perfection
a) the state of the more intelligent
b) moral and spiritual perfection
and is the same word translated to "perfectness" in this scripture: Col 3:14

The word "laying" means:
1) to cast down
a) to throw to the ground, prostrate
2) to put in a lower place
a) to lay (down) a foundation

The word "again" means:
1) anew, again

2) again, i.e. further, moreover

The word "Foundation" means:
1) laid down as a foundation, the foundation (of a building, wall, city)
2) metaph. the foundations, beginnings, first principals
a) of institution or system of truth

With these definitions, it could read:

Therefore leaving, (departing from, keeping no longer, omitting and giving up), the principles, (beginnings and origins), of the doctrines, (speech, words, sayings and decrees), of Christ, let us go on unto perfection, (the state of the more intelligent, moral and spiritual perfection); not laying, (casting down, prostrating or putting in a lower place), again, (as was already done, anew, further or repeatedly) the foundation, (first principles and beginnings), of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God...
