I agree, verschlimmbesserung...

- "The German word "Verschlimmbesserung" is a compound noun that combines "verschlimmern" (to make worse) and "verbessern" (to improve). It refers to a situation where an attempt to improve something unintentionally makes it worse. This term is often used humorously or critically to describe well-intentioned actions or changes that backfire and lead to negative outcomes instead of the desired improvements"
