misassigned
Given incorrect placement
Misassigned means wrongly assigned—placed in the wrong category, given to the wrong person, or allocated incorrectly: The ticket was misassigned to the wrong department.
Common in administrative, technical, and bureaucratic contexts where items, tasks, or people get sorted into the wrong slots: Several students were misassigned to classes they hadn't registered for.
