Morphology
recalculation = recalculate (transparent) = re + calculate + ion
This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'recalculate' meaning the act or process of doing it again.
Etymology
Recalculation is made of re- meaning 'again' and calculation, which is the same root you see in calculator and means 'counting' or working with numbers, so a recalculation is simply calculating something again to correct mistakes or include new information.
