I re-assigned

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English to indicate a simple past action of re-assigning without specifying the exact timing.

Examples:

  • I re-assigned the tasks to different team members last week.
  • She re-assigned the project to a new manager a month ago.

Alternatives:
