underdoing
Not enough work
Underdoing is doing something insufficiently or to a lesser degree than needed.
Most often applied to cooking: The chicken was underdone because I kept underdoing the roasting time.
The word extends to any situation where effort falls short: She's been underdoing her training and it shows in competition.
