Morphology
reformulation = reformulate (transparent) = re + formula + ate + ion
This is a regular noun formation from the verb 'reformulate' meaning the act or result of doing so.
Etymology
Reformulation comes from re- meaning 'again' and form meaning 'shape' or 'make', and is linked to formulate, which means to put something into a clear form. So a reformulation is like 'shaping something again' — changing or reworking it to improve or make it different.
