improperly
This adverb carries a strong sense of deviation from a prescribed norm, whether that norm is a social code, a technical manual, or a legal statute. It often implies a failure of duty or a lack of professionalism, making it common in formal reports, legal documents, and disciplinary contexts.
Depending on the context, the tone shifts from a moral judgment (social propriety) to a technical critique (incorrect installation) or a legal accusation (financial mismanagement). It is more formal than saying something was done "wrongly" or "incorrectly," and it specifically highlights the inappropriateness of the action relative to a specific standard.
