Morphology

nonadoption = adoption (transparent) = non + adopt + ion

The negative prefix 'non-' straightforwardly negates 'adoption' (acceptance/implementation), a composition readily interpreted by learners.

Etymology

Nonadoption is made of non- meaning 'not' and adoption meaning 'to take up or accept'. So, nonadoption is the state of 'not accepting' or 'not putting into use' a plan, policy, or idea.
