backfitted
Modified after production
Backfitted describes something that has been retrofitted—modified after the fact to include features or components not present in the original design.
The term appears in engineering and technical contexts: The older aircraft were backfitted with modern avionics.
It suggests updating existing equipment rather than replacing it entirely.
