mismeasured
Got dimensions wrong
Mismeasured means measured incorrectly—whether through faulty instruments, human error, or flawed methodology.
The word often appears in technical and scientific contexts where precision matters: The sample was mismeasured, invalidating the results.
Economic indicators can be mismeasured when the underlying data is incomplete or the formula outdated.
