shiftable
This term describes a quality of flexibility and physical or systemic mobility. It suggests a design intended for reconfiguration, where the primary value is the ease with which an object or a plan can be relocated or modified without causing structural failure or significant disruption.
In professional or technical contexts, it often refers to modularity. While similar to "adjustable," shiftable specifically emphasizes the act of moving something from one distinct position to another, rather than simply tweaking a setting or size.
