I assume you want to actually changes the names of the files. Plenty of options in this thread from yesterday: changing the name of files

Assuming that you want to modify the content of a .txt file, you can achieve that in many different ways, for example with sed: 

sed -i -e 's/.adjust//g' your_file.txt

I think you can use:

for file in *.adjust
do
    mv -i "${file}" "${file/.adjust/}"
done

(Assuming they aren't in a txt file - in which case the given answer works a treat)
