unlaunched
Still on pad
Unlaunched describes something that has not yet been launched—a product, website, rocket, or venture still in preparation: The unlaunched app sat in development limbo for months.
It implies readiness or near-readiness, distinguishing it from things that were never intended for launch at all.
