overresearched
Studied too much
Overresearched describes something that has been studied or investigated beyond what's useful or necessary.
The term often implies diminishing returns—more research hasn't yielded proportionally more insight: The topic is overresearched and underthought.
It can also suggest that excessive preparation has replaced action or original thinking: Her overresearched proposal lacked any fresh perspective.
