Change fee plus missing taxes and likely a hefty upfare. Is there a reason you would think it would be any different?

From a few posts just before yours:

If you paid less than $300 for the ticket, you'd be better off throwing it away and booking a new one from scratch at the going rate.

If you have UA Premier Gold or higher status, you might be able to do a rolling Same-Day Change (~22 hours at a time at max), but for there to be your fare class available on every single necessary change for a week straight is highly unlikely. If you don't have at least Gold status, then the SDC fee ($75, charged each time you SDC) would make that an unreasonable option as well.
