'Diverted' is to 'be turned aside 'or 'veered' from a course, as, for instance, diversion of a plan or a path. 'Deflection' carries a similar meaning but involves the sense of being 'bent' ( deflection of a ray, light, sound, etc.) 'Shifted' means 'transferred' (shifting of blame, ideas, furniture, etc.). 'Reverted' means 'returned to a former condition, habit, belief, etc.'

'Shade' is the comparative darkness caused by screening. 'Shadow' can mean 'shade', but here the reference is to shelter from the hot sun. So 'shade' is more appropriate. 'Shelter' is a general term carrying the meaning of covering or protection that doesn't necessarily include the meaning of 'comparative darkness caused by screening'.
