timelined
- 1Simple past and past participle of timeline.
The team timelined every milestone before settling on a launch date.
All the major events had been timelined by the end of the planning meeting.
Note
One regular -d ending covers both forms, so a single spelling serves for the simple past (they timelined it) and the participle (had timelined, was timelined). Because the verb means charting or analyzing a sequence of events, it suits the passive, with the events as subject. Thomas Mallon, writing in the New York Times in 2009, uses the get-passive: financial dealings that "get timelined with an urgency and precision."
