I'm trying to give her better lighting since the trics are still clear! Will this cause vegging since it's still spring time?
14 weeks into flowering, if i put her outside right now, will vegging start again?

14 weeks is a long time. What sort of lights are you using?

no actually it won't!!!! you will be fine. the photoperiod during spring is the same as it is during fall. if you put your flowering plants outside, they will continue to flower. just don't wait too long, or it will be too late. good luck!

That is also quite dependant on where the fellow lives. All you need to look at is how long daylight hours are at this particular time of year in your particular area. I highly doubt you are getting twelve hours of night and twelve hours of daylight, or something close. But if you are (say 11/13, 12.5/11.5 etc), you might be alright until summer kicks in and daylight hours become ever longer. We get around 14-15 hours a day already where I live, so if I were to move my girls outside now they'd probably kick right back into vegitation.
The bottom line is that the photoperiod will determine what your plant thinks it has to do, regardless of its stage of life.
My best suggestion is harvest as soon as your girl is ready and if it's still high summer stick her outside after harvest (look up re-vegging, the plant has to be harvested without killing the plant). Let her revegitate and harvest her a second time or use her for clones!

daylight hours do not matter; as long as the dark period lasts 11 or more hours the plant will flower. We only use 12/12 because timers are on a 24 hour count. you can play around with the light manually, if you want to get technical with a photoperiod, to have a day of 24 hours light, and switch it yourself to 12 hours of darkness--and continue with that system; the plants will still flower. resulting in that it's the dark period that induces the flowering hormone.
