misplanning
Poor advance scheduling
Misplanning is planning poorly or incorrectly—failing to anticipate problems, allocating resources badly, or scheduling things in ways that don't work out.
The whole trip was a disaster of misplanning.
The word emphasizes that planning occurred but went wrong, as opposed to no planning at all.
