Suspended ceiling grid in the way

[bmj1]

I've got a suspended ceiling grid, with the plasterboard now up and skimmed.

 

Speaker cut-outs have been made, and ceiling painted, and unfortunately 1 of them clashes with the grid (it's about 20mm out).

 

Option 1 is of course to redo the cut-out, repair the ceiling and repaint.

 

 

Is there an option 2 where we add a piece of timber adjacent to the piece of metal that is in the way, screw through the metal to the wood, and then cut the piece of metal that is in the way ?

I don't see why option 2 would not work.

Just cut the offending bit out 

This happens all the time with down lights
