deprioritises
Pushes back further
Deprioritises is the British spelling of deprioritizes—to move something lower on the list of importance or urgency.
What was once pressing becomes secondary: The company deprioritises customer service in favor of cutting costs.
The word implies active choice rather than mere neglect.
