Late Kingdom Egypt was a period of decline for Egypt. Native dynasties were often weak and politically fractured and Egypt was repeatedly conquered after 700 BC-with occasional native dynasties and uprisings and the priesthood retaining a sense of continuity but all in all Egyptian power declined procipitiously.

How can we have a revival of Egypt's military, economic and geopolitical fortunes with a POD beginning at 900 BC?

You do not need any pod for this. This situation happened under the Late Kingdom after the assyrian invasion and before Persia. It was one of great periods in egyptian history. But then came a stronger contender...

My history of the period is admittedly generalistic in nature-but it's well established that egypt was in decline in the post Ramesside period.

Somewhere in Anatolia or the fertile crescent I assume ? Maybe Arabia interior. A rival in Africa would be interesting.
 
The huge problem for Egypt at the time was that the country failed to reunify in time, which allowed empires based in Mesopotamia to expand into the Levant and unify the Fertile Cresent. The Third Intermediate Period lasted nearly four hundred years, which was extremely long compared to the First and Second. By the time they emerged from it, the Middle East was already under the domination of the Assyrians, leaving the Egyptians little room to grow and thrive as an empire. In the 10th century BC, there were several opportunities to end the Third Intermediate Period, either under the 21st Dynasty or the Libyan 22nd Dynasty, but I forget the specific pharaohs and situations they were in.
