In an Upgrade project, you uograde to a higher version of SAP, so you apply all Upgrade notes, and this may result in change in a few SAP standard and custom programs.

Re-Implementation is Implementing the same modules, from scratch I assume, the only reason why a company would want to do this is when they have major changes in the way the business works.

One way to look at this is Upgrade is from an older version to a newer version .

Lets say some company has a very old version, but as the version gets older SAP ( or any other company) stops supporting it. Also the new technologies in the new versions make more sense for the company, so they have to Upgrade.

Re-implementation would be removing the present implementation for whatever reason ( most likely a failure to implement properly) and trying it again.

If you have a successful implementation of SAP, you'r just going to upgrade.
