rephasing

A restoration of the phase of a system.

A change in the timing of a phased system (such as traffic lights).

A rescheduling; especially, a rescheduling of debt repayments or other obligations.

Early in 1993, ATN [[[w:Atlantic Tele-Network|Atlantic Tele-Network]]] requested and obtained from the GOG [Government of Guyana] a rephasing of the programme. ATN made this request on the basis of suppliers’ delays, and theft and willful destruction of property locally. Thus, whereas the scope of agreed works remains unchanged, the time frames are no longer applicable. At least one implication of this rephasing is clear: at minimum, there must result a postponement of some of the benefits expected from the divestiture.

In addition, the [Executive] Board [of the International Monetary Fund] also approved a rephasing of the country's future disbursements into five equal amounts of SDR 27.6 million (about US$40.7 million).
