adjustment
A small correction
Adjustment is the act of making something fit better or work more effectively.
You make adjustments to a plan, a thermostat, or your expectations.
An adjustment can be a small correction: a minor adjustment to the recipe.
It also names the process of adapting to new circumstances: The adjustment to college life took a few months.
In insurance, adjustment is the settlement of a claim.
