botchery
Amateurish failed attempt
Botchery is work done badly or clumsily—the result of botching something.
The word emphasizes the messy, incompetent quality of the outcome: The renovation was pure botchery, with uneven tiles and crooked trim.
It carries a tone of disgust or exasperation at shoddy craftsmanship or bungled effort.
