underdesigned
Underdesigned refers to a system, product, or process that has not been sufficiently planned, developed, or implemented to meet its intended requirements or to function effectively. This can manifest in various ways, such as a lack of necessary features, inadequate performance, poor usability, or an inability to scale or adapt to changing conditions. The causes of underdesign can range from insufficient resources, time constraints, or a misunderstanding of user needs to a lack of technical expertise or an oversight in the design process.
When a system is underdesigned, it often leads to operational inefficiencies, user frustration, increased maintenance costs,
