rejiggers

Rearranges the pieces

Rejiggers means rearranges or adjusts something, typically in a casual or improvised way.

Someone rejiggers a schedule, a budget, or a plan to make it work better: She rejiggers the furniture every few months.

The word suggests tinkering rather than systematic overhaul—fiddling with parts until they fit.
