renegotiate

Revisit the deal

To renegotiate is to negotiate again, typically to revise terms that have already been agreed upon.

Countries renegotiate treaties, employees renegotiate salaries, and couples renegotiate the division of household labor.

The word implies that circumstances have changed or that one party is dissatisfied with the original arrangement: We need to renegotiate our contract before signing on for another year.
