inconveniencing

Making things difficult

Inconveniencing is causing trouble or difficulty for someone, usually minor but unwelcome disruption to their plans or comfort.

The word often appears in polite apologies: Sorry for inconveniencing you.

It suggests the speaker recognizes they've imposed on someone's time or routine, though the burden is typically modest rather than serious.
