Then how to you explain ASA 6(FP).3.J? "Pushing off with the pivot foot from a place other than the pitcher's plate is illegal."

Since the process cannot start without the pitcher's pivot foot in contact with the PP, to deliver the ball with the pivot foot not in contact with the PP means the pitcher had to "replant" that foot. There is nothing wrong or inaccurate in using the term "replant". If there is any problem, it is with people trying to make it more than it is
