A retainer is to ensure availability... IE, you won't book more than 50% of a week if they've got a claim on the other 50%. It means they always "have a guy", and they pay for that availability. Shifting those hours around makes it impossible for you to schedule other work, and basically you're going to be sitting around waiting for them to give you a billable hour.
