Retraining generally takes a week of downtime. And you have to have found someone to pay to help you retrain. In some Adventure Paths (APs) there is enough downtime to actually make this viable (I'm looking at you, KingMaker, which had months of downtime). I'm not really seeing enough downtime in Wrath of the Righteous (WotR) to make this work.
Here is what I propose:
The PC makes a declaration to the GM/table that they plan to retrain out of X and retrain into Y.
Immediately, they lose X.
After a week of in-game time, they make a skill check (generally the DC of which is the Hard DC for the level of Y):
Critical Success: They can immediately begin using Y with no penalties
Success: They can immediately begin using Y, but with a -2 Retraining penalty related to using Y. This penalty goes away after one week of in-game time.
Failure: You still have lost X, and can immediately start a new week of training into Y
Critical Failure: You still have lost X, and must wait an in-game week before restarting training into Y.
For instance, if Harry the level 8 Rogue wanted to retrain out of a general feat taken at level 3 and replace it with a level 2 feat, then the DC would be 18 (16 for level 2 and +2 for Hard DC). If instead it was being replaced by a level 7 feat, the DC would be 25.
If Harry's feat was a Thievery-related feat, then the applicable skill would be Thievery. But, if the feat was related to something else (let's say Toughness), then the applicable skill would be different (in Toughness' case, it would be Fortitude). Non-obvious applicable skills would have to be discussed with the GM.

Solras takes two shots at the green demon, hoping to take it out quickly. "Well, at least it isn't more dang VULTURES," she exclaims between shots... but she's absolutely disappointed by the results as only her first shot merely clips the demon, with the second shot going wide.
Solras clips the demon, while Qafathiel gets a solid hit with the shards.
The green demon waggles its fingers at Obahi (casting Fear). Obahi Will save
Then it will strike.

Seeing that others have drawn the attention of two of them, avenger moves forward to occupy the the third. "Why, aren't you so pretty? A vision of loveliness!" he says as he approaches.
In return, the Blue Abrikandilu casts Fear on Avenger of the green requiring a Will Save, and then throws a piece of broken statue at Avenger:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Virgil casts Shield, Enters his Arcane cascade and Strides to Flank with Obahi.

"Union? Thought those were mostly in Deadshot Lands and Alkenstar? Thought it'd be a guild or something here," Solras asks as she shoots a hole through the green demon.
Virgil sets up and Solras almost completely annihilates the green abrikandilu.

Targetting the red demon as it was further away from everyone, so knowing it would take longer to reach, Perla again shoots three times at it, hoping to put it from this world.
