Discover LudwigThe phrase "alter the stand off" is not correct in standard English usage.
It seems to be a mix-up of terms, as "stand off" typically refers to a situation of stalemate or confrontation, and "alter" may not fit well in this context without further clarification.
Example: "We need to find a way to alter the standoff between the two parties to reach a resolution."
Alternatives: "change the standoff" or "modify the standoff."
