Forced tulips usually split and even if able to grow to blooming size would take years. I force half a refrigerator full a year and usually discard them after they bloom. Other forced spring bulbs I usually give the foliage as much sun as possible and allow to dry out; they just set in the garage then till that fall when I put them in the ground; these usually rebloom, some for years. Daffodils and hyacinths have very good results.
The Calla should work as eclayne says but you'll probably need to bring it in over next winter (unless hardy to you); it may bloom in whatever pot it's re-potted in according to it's cycle. I grow several in pots that are overwintered dry in basement to bloom following summer.
Nothing that's been done can ever be changed.
