nonpriority

Can wait indefinitely

Nonpriority describes something not given special urgency or importance.

A nonpriority item waits while more pressing matters get handled first.

In bureaucratic and business contexts, the label often determines resource allocation: Nonpriority cases may take six to eight weeks to process.

The term is functional rather than dismissive—it simply means not at the front of the line.
