recalibration singular

Morphology

recalibration = recalibrate (semi-transparent) = re + calibrate + ion

Standard noun formation from the verb 'recalibrate' by adding '-ion'; the morphological step itself is straightforward.

Etymology

The word recalibration starts with re- 'again' and the rest comes from calibrate, which is related to caliber and means 'measure' or 'size'. So, a recalibration of a plan is making changes or small adjustments to a strategy to help it work better.
