deliverable

In a corporate or project management context, this term functions as a specialized noun. It refers to a specific output—such as a document, a software module, or a physical prototype—that is contractually required. It differs from a general "goal" or "objective" because it must be a concrete item that can be handed over and verified by a stakeholder.

When used as an adjective, the word shifts to a logistical meaning, describing whether a physical item can be successfully transported to a recipient. In this sense, it is frequently paired with the prefix "non-" to describe mail or packages that cannot be delivered due to errors in addressing or accessibility.
