rejigging

Altering the setup

Rejigging is rearranging or reorganizing something, typically to improve it or adapt it to new circumstances: We're rejigging the schedule to accommodate everyone.

The word suggests hands-on adjustment rather than wholesale replacement—tweaking components, shuffling parts, making things work better.

More common in British than American English, where rejigger is the usual form.
