Yes!

And based on ACO's challenges predicting diesel performance a year out, it's possible they would need to change it during a season. Because the engineers were more clever than expected so the cars were too fast, or maybe because the cars didn't turn out as fast as anticipated and the fans are complaining about lap times.

Changes between years would be healthy. It sort of shakes up the box and increases the chance a different team would be the best the following year. Changes during the season could be disruptive.
