Extending door jamb on hinge side

[AFT4B]

We have a situation where the door lining was fitted based on expected final thickness of wall but the final build up has now been more than originally expected - by approximately 12-14mm. This will be the hinge side.

Am I right in thinking that it's best to replace this door lining with the correct size rather than adding jamb extensions? Sounds like a silly question, but I would expect there to be some disturbance to the plasterboards/ plaster and potentially have to reskim this wall too. Just seeing if there is a good way to avoid all the rework?

Is it a stud wall? If so I'd suggest that all you need is a wee plant on the lining to bring it out to line, then find some wider hinges if possible but if not the screws furthest from the pin should be clear of your plant and some nice long screws to get back into the studs should be fine.

Has to be easier than trying to change out the lining and then remedials to the plaster.
