reformulate

State it differently

To reformulate is to express or create something again in a different form.

A scientist might reformulate a hypothesis after new evidence, or a company might reformulate a product to change its ingredients: They reformulated the soda to reduce sugar.

The word often implies improvement or adaptation rather than starting from scratch.
