undue
More than appropriate
Undue means excessive or unwarranted—more than is appropriate or justified: undue influence, undue delay, undue hardship.
The word implies something has crossed a threshold of reasonableness: The request placed undue burden on the staff.
Undue attention or concern suggests worry disproportionate to the situation.
