recalculating

Redoing the math

Recalculating is computing something again, typically because circumstances have changed or an error was discovered.

GPS devices announce recalculating when you deviate from the suggested route.

The word has become shorthand for adjusting plans on the fly: After the layoffs, we're all recalculating our career paths.
