nonurgent
Not time-sensitive
Nonurgent describes something that doesn't require immediate attention or action.
Medical contexts distinguish nonurgent cases from emergencies: The clinic handles nonurgent complaints like rashes and minor infections.
The term appears in bureaucratic and scheduling contexts where priorities must be ranked: Nonurgent requests will be processed within ten business days.
