Not to be flip but whenever the airline wants to change the flight routing for a given flight number.

Some flight numbers hardly ever, if ever, change such as UAL1 or AAL2. while others change quick frequently such as many of the Southwest flights.

I'd say we change flight numbers every 1 to 2 months. Heck, we don't even know the final schedule until less than a month before it changes.
