Change horses midstream
To change horses midstream
To make major changes while things are already going on, up and running, when it's more or less too late.(Big changes badly timed or too late). Anyone know a good Spanish equivalent for this?

Sobre la marcha se usa mucho, pero no implica "major changes " It can be unimportant ones too.
