unripe
When talking about food, "unripe" usually means the fruit is hard, sour, or green and needs more time before it can be eaten. When used to describe a person's ideas or plans, it is a metaphor. In this case, it means the idea is not yet 'ready' or fully thought through, similar to calling something "premature".
