postponable
Able to delay
Postponable describes something that can be put off until later without serious consequence.
Tasks, meetings, and decisions may be postponable when they aren't urgent: The surgery is postponable if you'd rather wait.
What counts as postponable depends on priorities—one person's postponable errand is another's pressing obligation.
