What is another word for mission creep?
Pronunciation: [mˈɪʃən kɹˈiːp] (IPA) 
Mission creep is a term used to describe the unintended expansion of the goals and objectives of a project or mission. This can happen in any sphere of life such as politics, military, business and even personal goals. Other synonyms that could be used to describe mission creep include project drift, scope creep, goal displacement, and objective stretching. While mission creep isn't necessarily always a bad thing, it can lead to dilution and a loss of focus on the original goals. It is important to keep a close eye on the project to ensure that progress is being made towards the initial objective. If not, it might be time to re-evaluate and adjust accordingly.
