Тогда в этом смысле могу предложить: a haywire "out-of-the-box solution".

Notes to answerer

Asker: Спасибо! Тут имеется в виду как бы "недоделанное" или "неполноценное" out-of-the-box решение. Semi мне тоже как идея нравится, но очень уж мало контекстных ссылок, что меня и смущает.

Asker: Ну нет, слишком прямолинейно... )))

Asker: Спасибо! ))

partly retail solution

Explanation:
or almost retail solution
I just put it here, as I am NOT sure about accuracy of this interpretation, but I more lean towards The Misha's variant "of-the-shelf solution" :) It seems more habitual and used-to in industry.

Reference information:
Вообще, при внедрении любой системы автоматизации есть, упрощенно, два подхода: первый подход, когда вам приносят «полукоробочное» решение и говорят: «А теперь адаптируйте все свои внутренние процессы под нашу систему и если что-то из ваших процессов нельзя в ней сделать, то измените ваши процессы, чтобы можно было в нашу систему все это нормально вписать и реализовать». Те разработчики светских систем, с которыми мы общались, в большей или меньшей степени все нам предлагали именно такой путь - изменения не своей системы автоматизации, а внутренних процессов духовных школ. Предлагали немножко что-то изменить, лишь бы система смогла это обработать.
This gives me a hazy idea of what it means, but I can't think of any useful suggestion. Perhaps it will be helpful to someone else.

Sorry, I thought of Vaskon's answer, but wasn't convinced enough to enter it as such myself. Can't think of anything better though. I was hoping someone with real computer expertise might find something for you.

Note to reference poster

Asker: Thank you Jack! That's exactly what I need but... in English! LOL Maybe you can help me. In fact, there are the so called "out-of-the-box solutions", it's when you take a product out of the box, plug it in (or install it) and use it right away. The term I'm looking for literally sounds in Russian as "semi-out-of-the-box solution" which is to say: yes, you take it out of the box and it will work, but if you want it to do exactly what you need you must spend time to set it up. The problem is that I don't find many links with "semi-out-of-the-box" term which means it is not commonly used. Hence there must be something else. Do you have any idea?
