Is it possible to start with 76 and drop back to 38 if speeds aren't much more than 40 or does that mean changing contracts?

I don't think there's an issue with 'regrading' to the lower speed product, it'll probably re-start the 18 month* contract period (if you sign up to 80/20 and find it's not that much above 40mbps so you change after, say, 2 months, you'd start a new 18 month period at that point so it would be a total of 20 months before you're out of minimum contract term).
* 18 months assumes you don't have a special deal with a longer (24 month) agreed contract.
Please also note FTTC can often loose a fair bit of speed over the first few months as the FTTC cabinet gets more lines connected (due to cross-talk), you'll often get near to (or even above) the top estimate initially (especially if you're one of the first connected to your cabinet) but it can (and often does) drop to somewhere in the middle of the (BT) estimate range and, of course, they generally will not accept any speed fault as long as you're above the minimum estimate.
