Note
One spelling covers both past forms, as with any regular -ed verb: the team maximized output, the team has maximized output, output was maximized. Because maximize takes an object, the passive comes easily, and the participle often sits before a noun like an adjective. That use is especially natural in computing, where a maximized window is one expanded to fill the display.
