unsynchronization
Loss of coordination
Unsynchronization is the state or process of things falling out of sync—losing the coordination or timing they once had.
The word appears in technical contexts where synchronized systems drift apart: The unsynchronization of the audio and video tracks made the film unwatchable.
More often, people say "out of sync" or "loss of synchronization."
