Can anyone help me understand how to arrive at the expression (16) in the following link?

I don't see how it follows from insertion into (14), but I have seen exactly this transition happen several places in litterature. There is only a linear term in the electron density, since the Kohn Sham equations has been used to put all the nasty stuff into the exchange-correlation function (as far as I understand).

Could you be more concrete about which term you don't understand?
