Morphology
unachieved = achieved (transparent) = un + achieve + ed
Formed by productive negation 'un-' applied to the participial/adjectival 'achieved', so the meaning 'not achieved' is directly derivable.
Etymology
The word unachieved is made of un- meaning 'not' and achieve meaning 'to reach or finish a goal'. So, unachieved describes a goal or dream that is 'not reached' or 'not done yet'.
