retask
Give new assignment
To retask is to assign something or someone to a new task or purpose.
The word appears most often in military and intelligence contexts, where assets get redirected: The satellite was retasked to monitor the border region.
More broadly, it describes reassigning any resource: We retasked the development team to fix critical bugs.
