reworkable

Open to revision

Reworkable describes something that can be revised, adjusted, or redone.

The term appears most often in manufacturing and materials science, where reworkable adhesives or components can be removed and reapplied without damage: The solder is reworkable if you need to replace the chip.

More broadly, anything reworkable remains open to modification rather than being fixed or final.
