thought through

Carefully reasoned out

Thought through describes something that has been carefully considered in all its aspects before action or decision.

A well-thought-through plan anticipates problems and addresses details.

The opposite—not thought through—suggests hasty or incomplete reasoning: The policy wasn't thought through; nobody considered the consequences.
