miscategorizing

Miscategorizing is placing something in the wrong category or classification.
The error can be minor—miscategorizing an expense as office supplies rather than equipment—or consequential: The hospital miscategorized his condition, delaying proper treatment.
Also spelled miscategorising in British English.
