unsynchronized

Not in time

Unsynchronized means not coordinated in time or rhythm.

Movements that are unsynchronized happen at different moments or speeds: The dancers were hopelessly unsynchronized.

Clocks, devices, or data that haven't been matched up remain unsynchronized: The files on my laptop are unsynchronized with the cloud.

The word often implies a failure to achieve intended coordination.
