reallocating

Moving funds elsewhere

Reallocating is redistributing resources, funds, or assignments from one purpose or place to another.

The word implies a deliberate shift rather than an initial allocation: The company is reallocating budget from marketing to product development.

Governments reallocate spending, managers reallocate staff, and individuals reallocate time when priorities change.
