readjustments

Changes after review

Readjustments are changes made to correct or adapt something that was previously adjusted.

The word implies a second pass—fine-tuning after an initial attempt: The budget required several readjustments after new costs emerged.

Readjustments can be practical (recalibrating equipment) or psychological (adapting to changed circumstances): the emotional readjustments of returning home after years abroad.
