that "reworked idea" sounds fine to be in the setting...depending on timelines.
what was the original idea?
why not just write this as part of the OA setting ?
i'm not seeing what (in-setting/canon) reasons are preventing you from just making it part of the OA setting?
is the issue that you want some control over the idea that you don't think we're going to offer?
The core reason that I wouldn't want the idea as a whole to be part of OA proper, rather than the understood-as-not-necessarilly-'canon' separate thing I'm hoping for, is just because the details of the idea which I've refrained from elaborating upon are very self-indulgent, which is somewhat embarrassing to me and if included I worry would make the concept feel unserious.
I wouldn't want the parts of the idea that are just me noodling around and having fun making things that only appeal to me to be a component of the EG, if that makes sense?
The stuff on the guide to EG submissions says that an idea being included just because it's 'cool' is an insufficient justification, and the details I'm reticent to mention do include a good few ideas included just because I like them and think they're cool; which is a major part of why I didn't think any of the idea was fitting for an actual EG article at first.
