Just quoting some advice I find important:

You don't need to spend time on what you already can do. Just move back and forth with two chords that are problematic. Do this for half a minute or so, relax your hand for 15 seconds or so.....repeat this for some minutes (Skip the metronome. Using a metronome or playing in time is not the point here.).
Repeat all of it several times a day. Pay attention not to put any strain on that hand, and remember that it's during breaks that your body rewrites the code and makes it easier the next time you pick that guitar up.

Leave the prior chord a bit early (short of a full beat). A lot of people to this and it usually sounds fine (normal in fact).

Even when strumming you need to find the right sequence for those fingers. Usually you can remove "bass" string fingers first, and they also need to be the first one(s) ready for the next chord.
It was also mentioned that you should seek to find economical ways to play chord sequences. Could some fingers stay in their positions?
