Morphology

unbudgeted = budgeted (transparent) = un + budget + ed

Derived by negating 'budgeted'; although used for non-financial schedules/resources, the negation of 'budgeted' is still straightforward.

Etymology

Unbudgeted is made of un- 'not' and budget 'a plan for money, time, or resources', so it means something 'not included in the plan' and can cause delays or need extra people or time.
