The noun means a revised estimate, which is a straightforward repetition or replacement of an earlier estimate.

Etymology

The word reestimate comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the word estimate meaning 'a guess about cost, size, or value'. So a reestimate is a new or changed estimate made after you get more information.
