The term "deficient" means "lacking" or "inadequate", even (more colloquially) "falling short". Thus, it could be used in a sentence such as the following: "Her work was judged deficient; therefore, she did not receive even an honorable mention in the contest."

"Deficient" means lacking in something essential or necessary, such as a nutrient in one's diet or a required skill in a job. It indicates a shortage or insufficiency in meeting a particular standard or requirement.
