misproportioned
Awkwardly sized parts
Misproportioned describes something whose parts are badly sized relative to each other—a figure with arms too long for its torso, a building whose windows dwarf its doors, a budget that allocates too much to one category and too little to another.
The sketch looked amateur, the head misproportioned to the body.
The word emphasizes that the problem lies in relationships between parts rather than absolute size.
