I remember reading in German a long time ago that there is a word that describes

"spending time thinking about something, and when it comes time to doing what you thought about .. its no longer optimal, since the time where that decision would have been optimal has already passed"

Does anyone know what this word might have been? In the context of economics, decision making and game theory.

I think it had to with the word "klept" as in kleptomania?

Thanks!
