disproportioning
Making parts unequal
Disproportioning is making something out of proportion—giving unequal weight, size, or emphasis to parts that should be balanced: The budget amendment risks disproportioning funds away from education.
The word is rare; most speakers prefer "making disproportionate" or similar constructions.
