unachievable
Cannot be done
Unachievable describes something that cannot be accomplished or attained.
Goals may be unachievable because they're too ambitious, resources are lacking, or circumstances make success impossible: The deadline was unachievable from the start.
Unlike impossible, which suggests absolute impossibility, unachievable often implies practical rather than logical barriers.
