redelegated

Transferred authority once more

Redelegated means delegated again or to a different party.

Authority, responsibility, or tasks that were previously assigned to someone get passed along to another: The project was redelegated to a more experienced team.

In legal and administrative contexts, redelegation often requires explicit authorization, since the original delegation may not have included permission to pass duties further down.
