reimplement

Rewrite from scratch

To reimplement is to implement something again, typically building a new version of software, a system, or a process from scratch rather than modifying the existing one.

Developers reimplement when they need a fresh start, want to use different technology, or can't access the original code: We had to reimplement the entire API when we switched frameworks.
