readjusting
Changing to fit
Readjusting is the process of adjusting again or making further modifications to something already adjusted.
You readjust a rearview mirror after someone else has driven your car, or readjust your expectations when circumstances change: After the first quarter results, we're readjusting our projections downward.
The word implies correction or fine-tuning rather than starting fresh.
