retrofittable

Can be modified

Retrofittable describes something that can be modified or upgraded after its original manufacture or construction.

The term applies to equipment, buildings, or systems designed to accept later improvements: The older aircraft are retrofittable with modern avionics.

A retrofittable design anticipates future adaptation rather than requiring complete replacement.
