overrun
This term conveys a sense of loss of control, where a boundary is breached by an overwhelming force. Whether the context is biological, such as weeds choking a garden, or military, such as a sudden invasion, the word implies a rapid and unstoppable spread that displaces the original order.
In financial or temporal contexts, it describes a failure to adhere to a strict limit. It carries a negative connotation of inefficiency or poor planning, suggesting that the actual cost or duration has spilled over the intended edge of the budget or schedule.
