Thrust reduction altitude

Hello guys,

Can we set climb thrust at 800 ft when the take off performance chart is based on a Flaps retraction Altitude of 1000 ft AGL?
Flaps retraction altitude is the 3rd segment of take off path.which means in case of engine failure we are supposed to climb with a take off thrust until the acceleration segment.

Should an engine failure occur at 900 ft AGL, can we say that we are still in the 2nd segment with no take off thrust?

2nd segment of take off assumes to have some requirements ( flaps at take off etcc.. ) among which take off thrust is mandatory and there are only 2 take off thrust toga or flex.

If the Flaps retraction altitude is modified on the take off performance chart is it going to affect the flex temperature? And weight penalty?

Finally can we set climb thrust at an altitude lower than the flaps Retraction altitude showed on the take off performance chart?

Thanks for your inputs
