I generally use: - Overbuilt: Designed to handle more of the same. Too strong. - Overengineered: Complexity not justified by the requirements.
Sometimes overbuilding (e.g. using really thick wood on a treehouse) means you can lower complexity (less bracing needed) at the cost of being more wasteful with material. That is often a great tradeoff.
