unstarted
Still at zero
Unstarted describes something that has not yet begun: The unstarted project sat in my inbox for weeks.
It applies to tasks, processes, or activities that remain in their initial state, with no action taken toward completion.
Common in project management and to-do lists: three unstarted items remained.
