If i understand correctly, you want to know, for a given TL, how far you can modify a given planet data from its original state.

The answer is :
it depend a lot of the TL and of wich ^superscience are available.
I don't think there is any fixed rules for this.

At lower TL, i you can mostly assume that a planet can be shifted to any state possible for her mass, size and orbit, the TL will only decide how much time and work is needed.

At tl12+, you can change mass, size and orbit, so you just decide what result you want. Nearly anything is possible, although some result will be unstable and require maintenance as dataweaver pointed out.

Hoep this help
