Morphology

rebudget = budget (transparent) = re + budget

The prefix 're-' keeps its standard meaning 'again', so 'rebudget' means to budget again or anew.

Etymology

Rebudget comes from the parts re- 'again' and budget 'a plan for money', so to rebudget is to make or change a budget again when new costs or information appear.
