I don't believe that is the whole story. It has been a long time since I've been rerouted, but I think a pilot can be rerouted from/on his original rotation with some limitations on when he gets back to base on his last day.
I think you are talking about open time.
The real question IMO is what defines an IROP which is what reroutes are designed to minimize.
Of course I could be wrong. I never have been a contract admin guy.
