postdated

Marked for future

Postdated describes something bearing a date later than the actual date.

A postdated check is written today but dated for next week, making it invalid until then: She gave him a postdated check so he couldn't cash it before payday.

The verb postdate means to assign such a future date, or more broadly, to occur later than something else: The manuscript postdates the author's death.
