Definitions

  1. To make new plans; to adjust existing arrangements or schemes; to revise a strategy or outline to better fit current circumstances

Etymology: "Replans" is the third-person singular present form of "replan," a verb meaning to make new plans, usually after an earlier plan has failed or changed. The verb is built from the prefix "re-", meaning again or anew, attached to "plan," so a replan is simply a plan made once more. Because the word is a plain combination of two familiar English parts, its history offers no surprises beyond the meanings of those parts.
