scheduling error

A scheduling error is a mistake in planning or coordinating times—double-booking appointments, missing deadlines, or assigning conflicting commitments.
The phrase often serves as a diplomatic excuse for cancellations or no-shows: Due to a scheduling error, the senator will not be attending.
In computing, it refers to flawed task allocation by an operating system.
