rework
Revamp from scratch
Rework means to revise or redo something to improve it.
A writer reworks a draft, an engineer reworks a design.
The noun refers to the process itself or the revised product: The script needed considerable rework before filming.
In manufacturing, rework specifically means correcting defective items rather than scrapping them.
