misrouted
Sent wrong way
Misrouted means sent along the wrong path or to the wrong destination.
Packages, calls, and data can all be misrouted: The shipment was misrouted to Seattle instead of San Francisco.
Traffic misrouted by faulty GPS ends up on unintended roads.
Figuratively, misrouted efforts or resources go toward the wrong goal.
