Note
A regular -ed form doing double duty: one spelling serves the simple past (she architected the plan), the perfect (has architected) and the passive (was architected by). The verb is transitive, so it nearly always takes an object or a passive subject. It is made from the noun, and it stretches as that noun does, from buildings and other structures to anyone who contrives a desired result.
