Shop floor term for improvised assembly from mixed parts

The haphazard amalgamating or "mashing up" of elements from multiple ideas, objects or projects into one single output, often due to lack of possibility to come up with something genuinely unique/new. Usually refers to student projects, or a software platform, or even a production line. The act of building something that incorporates a very diverse range of elements from varied sources, somehow working together to create results.
