botch job
Poorly executed task
A botch job is work done badly or carelessly—a repair, project, or task that's been bungled.
The phrase emphasizes incompetent execution rather than mere failure: The plumber left us with a botch job that leaked worse than before.
Someone who does a botch job has made a mess of something that should have been done properly.
