renegotiating
Revisiting contract terms
Renegotiating is negotiating again—revisiting terms that were previously settled to reach a new agreement.
Contracts, treaties, salaries, and deals of all kinds get renegotiated when circumstances change or one party wants better terms: The union is renegotiating their contract with management.
The word implies the original agreement remains in force while parties work toward modifications.
