The tax you pay for not thinking five minutes longer before starting.
means The waste of time, energy, or resources that happens when something is done in a clumsy or badly organized way.
from Built from the Latin prefix 'in-' (not) plus 'efficientem,' from 'efficere' — 'to work out, bring about, accomplish,' itself from 'ex-' (out) and 'facere' (to make or do). So 'efficient' originally meant something that actually produces its effect; tack on the 'in-' and you get something that fails to — energy spent without the output to show for it.
