overprioritized
Given excessive importance
Overprioritized means given too much importance relative to other things.
Something overprioritized receives attention or resources disproportionate to its actual significance: The company overprioritized short-term profits at the expense of product quality.
The term implies an imbalance—what's elevated crowds out what matters more.
