rearchitect
Overhaul the framework
Rearchitect means to fundamentally redesign the structure of something, especially software systems or organizations.
The term emerged from computing, where it describes overhauling a system's underlying architecture rather than making incremental fixes: We need to rearchitect the database to handle this scale.
It has spread to business contexts: The company rearchitected its supply chain after the pandemic.
