I wish the new dept was called: The Department of Government Effectiveness.
Being efficient at the wrong things at the wrong time is still a waste. There's still opportunity cost associated with that.

Being 'too efficient' can also mean not having resiliency. Having some 'slop' to play with can allow for resiliency (see also bus factor).
being effective at the wrong place at the wrong time is also a waste
effective - successful in producing a desired or intended result.
Not clear what you mean.
efficient - achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or expense
you can effectively build a house (desired and intended result) on a beach in Florida 2 days before it is destroyed by the hurricane.
no adjective works if you are in a wrong place at a wrong time…
