Morphology

retime = time (transparent) = re + time

The meaning is a straightforward 'do again or adjust anew' extension of the verb 'time'.

Etymology

Retime breaks into the prefix re- ('again') and the word time ('when something happens'). So, to retime something is to 'time it again' — for example move the start of an event or change an engine's timing to make it work better.
