to put it another way

Stated differently now

To put it another way signals that a speaker is about to rephrase something just said, offering an alternative formulation that might be clearer or more persuasive: The project is behind schedule—or, to put it another way, we've wasted three months.

The phrase acknowledges that a first attempt at explanation didn't quite land.
