noncompletion
Failure to finish
Noncompletion is the failure to finish something that was started or expected to be finished.
The word appears most often in bureaucratic or legal contexts: noncompletion of required coursework, penalties for noncompletion of the contract.
It emphasizes that something remains undone rather than that it was abandoned or rejected.
