Makeshift means temporary or not ideal, and setup refers to an arrangement of equipment or furniture. Together, makeshift setup describes an improvised work environment that may not be comfortable or efficient. For example:
My laptop broke, so I used an old PC as a makeshift setup. - The speaker used an old computer as a temporary replacement.
The team worked from home with makeshift setups during the office renovation. - Employees used temporary workstations at home while the office was being fixed.
