German term or phrase: Sachverhaltsgestaltung

re-designing of circumstances


Explanation:
since this seems to imply that this process is more or less on the verge of "iffiness"....that is why I would use "re-designing" instead of simply designing or creating....of course "re-creating" would work as well, but then I'd say re-creating circumstances

arrangement of facts


Explanation:
...as in “...an active process of arranging facts, ...” I guess you could also “circumstances” instead of “facts.”

It might be going too far by describing this as “creative fact arrangement” (along the lines of “creative bookkeeping”), although the thought did occur.

Whoops, I somehow forgot the word “use” in the second sentence above.
