I don't have a list of all the things that happen as pitchers are moved to the bullpen but the Stuff change is immediate.
If you change a SP to RP/CL, you will see the increase in Stuff right away. If you change it back from RP/CL to SP, you will see the drop back to the original value.
The thought behind that is that he will put more effort/speed into fewer amount of pitches.
Example from the real world: Edwin Diaz started out as a SP in his career but when he moved to a closer position, his velocity increased.
Other things that happen is that a SP with high stamina gets tired more quickly when he pitches in the bullpen (You won't see a SP with 100 stamina throw high double digit number of pitches as a RP/CL even though he will do it as a SP).
Also, there is no harm moving a SP to the bullpen and then back to SP.
He will not be a different player because you tried him in a different role for a while.
