Chip designs have multiple layers of abstraction to represent a "circuit". Moving from 60nm to 28nm, your RTL is probably fine, but the physical layout will need some reworking as the transitors have different characteristics, SRAM different latencies, etc. It could be more cost effective to also rework some of your RTL, depending on your volume.
