Synonyms of "Changes" and their differences
Q:
Qual é a diferença entre Changes that have been helping me e Changes that have helped me ?
A:
In general, both of these phrases "have been V-ing" and "have V-ed" can be used interchangeably, there is virtually no difference in meaning. The only difference here is the grammar and how the grammar shapes the sentence or phrase.
But it can also be said that the difference lis that "(have) been V-ing" focuses more on the verb, the action. While "have V-ed" focuses more on the result of the action. For example, in "The changes that have helped me come this far", "help" is past tense, so the "help" the changes did have finished, and now you have "come this far". While in "The changes that have been helping me come this far", the changes (although they are also in the past and finished) played a very active role, so it's not the result that is the focus, but it is the things that happened (changes that have been helping) that are the focus.
In my opinion, this is just another quirk of English. English is very 'time' specific and that also effects the way verbs work, whether it be "have been V-ing" or "have V-ed". In most, if not all, cases using either is okay, and I think most native speakers would not care about which one is used.

Q:
Qual é a diferença entre Changes don't happen overnight e Changes don't happen immediately ?
A:
they are both correct.
Immediately means instantaneously, meaning directly after something else with no interval of time
Overnight, in this case, means in a short span of time, such as a day. You know the expression "Moscow wasn't built in a day," or as we would say, "Rome wasn't built in a day." Overnight has this sense more, that it can't happen in the span of a single day.
