How to change the Custom Timer Job's title after initial deployment

Question

I created a SharePoint Custom Timer Job in Visual Studio 2012 following the steps given in this article by Ravi Rachchh. It works fine.

However, I wanted to change the Title of the Timer Job. So I changed the below given line in the constructor.

this.Title = "MNM's Test Timer Job";

However after re-deploying and activating the Feature. The Central Admin Job Definitions page shows the old Title.

What Am I missing here?

You can use PowerShell for changing Title

$t = get-sptimerjob | where { $_.Title -eq "MNM's Test Timer Job" }
$t.Title = "New MNM's Test Timer Job"
$t.Update()
