underruns
Comes in under
Underruns are instances of coming in below an expected amount or limit—the opposite of overruns.
Budget underruns mean spending less than allocated: The project finished with a significant underrun.
In manufacturing or printing, an underrun is producing fewer units than ordered.
The verb underrun means to fall short of a target or to pass beneath something, as a cable underrunning a ship.
