If anyone wants to know, "Beweglichertorpfostenkrieg" is literally just "moving goal posts war" disguised as a german compound word.

As a German, this word was compounded incorrectly anyway. Adjectives don't get compounded. So it would be "Beweglicher Torpfostenkrieg"

This is wrong. That would describe a certain type of war, but specify that the war is movable.

I think the "Torpfostverschiebekrieg" mentioned in another comment would be the best solution.

But surely wouldn't that imply the existence of such thing as a 'goal post war'? Because the term is meant to mean '(moving goal post) (war)', and not '(moving) (goal post war)'

Beweglicher-Torpfosten-Krieg looks about right.
