How to find ${O(T(n)=4T(\frac{n-2}{2}) +n^2)}$
Let $S(n) = T(4n-2)$. Then
$$
S(n) = T(4n-2) = 4T\left(\frac{4n-4}{2}\right) + \Theta(n^2) = 4T(2n-2) + \Theta(n^2) = 4S(n/2) + \Theta(n^2).
$$
The master theorem tells us that $S(n) = \Theta(n^2\log n)$, and so $T(n) = \Theta(n^2\log n)$.

More generally, the statement of the Akra–Bazzi theorem (specifically, the $h_i$ functions) makes it clear that the small perturbation in this recurrence ($\frac{n-2}{2}$ instead of $\frac{n}{2}$) doesn't change the asymptotics of the solution. From this theorem you can derive the solution directly without guessing the substitution $S(n) = T(4n-2)$.
