Morphology
reestimation = estimation (transparent) = re + estimate + ion
Adding 're-' to 'estimation' straightforwardly gives the meaning of making an estimate again or anew.
Etymology
Reestimation is made from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the word estimate, which is a 'careful guess' about size, cost, or amount. So reestimation simply means making that careful guess again, like checking a project's cost or a population count when new information appears.
