misreckoning
Error in figuring
A misreckoning is an error in calculation or judgment—getting the numbers wrong or misjudging a situation: A slight misreckoning in navigation left them miles off course.
The word implies the reckoning was attempted but flawed, whether through faulty arithmetic, bad assumptions, or incomplete information.
