Roguelikes are videogames in which the player must navigate through a procedurally generated network of rooms (and possibly tunnels) to reach the end of the game. Popular examples include Diablo, The Binding of Isaac, and Rogue itself.
Goal
To build an underground labyrinth that changes its internal configuration based on a procedural generation algorhitm, which can be reset at will by the maintaining staff (the time it takes to reset is irrelevant). The maze may reuse rooms, but it should be statistically unlikely (< 0.00001% chance) to have the very same network twice.
Constraints
Technology level should be what we expect to achieve by 2030.
Arbitrary goals for the labyrinth measures are 0.5 km2 per level, for a total of six levels.
Disregard/handwave away how the labyrinth is going to be staffed or populated.
Suppose no expenditure limits.
Finally, the deadliness and level of challenge of the labyrinth are not part of the question. The goal is to determine the engineering feasibility of the changing labyrinth, and only that.
Motivation
Suppose a villain has played the hardest games such as Rogue and concluded that those are nearly impossible to finish, so he thinks that by hiding in such a dungeon will make him harder to defeat.
Alternatively, some TV channel may be one upping the reality show business, or a theme park may be trying this as an attraction (in which cases the traps would not be deadly and the monsters would not harm the guests).

I remember having a rather tidy BASIC program on my Commodore64 which could quickly fill the screen with a labyrinth generated by randomly picking / and . Are you looking for something like this?

The area is filled with sqaure rooms, each room having four electrically controlled doors connecting it to its neighbours. Then apply you preferred maze generating subroutine and command the door accordingly.

What is your "statistically impossible"? Things are either possible or impossible. If possible, they may be unlikely (probability under some arbitrary number you should give us). Also, are you more interested in ways to move walls, or in control logic?

Well, you can go the operable wall way:
police use this Tactical Training Grid to construct distinct scenarios to train policeman. I think you can do the same but with automatized walls in a grid, that moves and deploy according to the desired pattern. To compose the maze i suspect a lot of movements will be required, so this in action could be like a giant 2-d rubik.
The trickiest part will be the connection between floors, but you can place a lot of doortraps closed and concealed and only open one per level.
All the other stuff (chests, furniture, staricases, fountains, etc) can be placed by robotic Forklifts.

Thick floors with hydraulic pillars
Given a grid made up of 30 to 50cm square pillars, each with an independent hydraulic piston and controller allowing it to either act as a full height pillar, even to the point of acting as stairs to the room above, or sit flush with the "floor", everything else is software.
You'd need to define regions on each level that are always open space to allow for removable panels for the stairs to the lower level, but these regions aren't necessarily always available to the adventurer, they can just never be walls or stairs to the higher level.
While crude, and slightly limiting in where you can put the level changes, it will fulfill your basic requirements.
It also leaves open the option of crushing your intruder against the ceiling if he gets too close/boring

Thing is, you have plenty of time to prepare, because procedural generation is not random (at least in this case). You can map an arbitrarily large part of the labyrinth before it's actually built or used.
Assuming we have a set of 10 type of rooms, a dozen or so of every variety, all ten are in some nice shape to be tileable (note: we don't need the mathematically significant concept of covering the full plane), and you can build whatever your want with simple cranes right now.
With a moving platform you can even keep the "player" in the center of your arena all the time, so you don't run out of place.
I don't see any engineering problems with it. You want the generation to be more fine/detailed, less blocky?

It consist of many rooms that are shaped like cubes with different sets of traps (some with no traps at all). Each room has six hatches that leads to other cube like rooms. The structure is basically i gigantic cube, made off smaller cubes.

Thing is, you have plenty of time to prepare, because procedural generation is not random (at least in this case). You can map an arbitrarily large part of the labyrinth before it's actually built or used.
Assuming we have a set of 10 type of rooms, a dozen or so of every variety, all ten are in some nice shape to be tileable (note: we don't need the mathematically significant concept of covering the full plane), and you can build whatever your want with simple cranes right now.
With a moving platform you can even keep the "player" in the center of your arena all the time, so you don't run out of place.
I don't see any engineering problems with it. You want the generation to be more fine/detailed, less blocky?

You should check out the movie Cube: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123755/ The maze keep changing, with almost infinite possible combinations. In a sense it's a rogue like maze.
It consist of many rooms that are shaped like cubes with different sets of traps (some with no traps at all). Each room has six hatches that leads to other cube like rooms. The structure is basically i gigantic cube, made off smaller cubes.
Spoiller alert - As the time passes by, the rooms move, like a Rubik cube, modifying completely the structure of the maze.

I remember having a rather tidy BASIC program on my Commodore64 which could quickly fill the screen with a labyrinth generated by randomly picking / and . Are you looking for something like this?

@L.Dutch I am looking for a way to do that, but physically (and multilevel).

The area is filled with sqaure rooms, each room having four electrically controlled doors connecting it to its neighbours. Then apply you preferred maze generating subroutine and command the door accordingly.

What is your "statistically impossible"? Things are either possible or impossible. If possible, they may be unlikely (probability under some arbitrary number you should give us). Also, are you more interested in ways to move walls, or in control logic?
