English term or phrase: future creap
Feature creep, creeping featurism or featuritis is the ongoing expansion or addition of new features in a product, such as in computer software.[1] Extra features go beyond the basic function of the product and so can result in over-complication rather than simple design. Viewed over a longer time period, extra or unnecessary features seem to creep into the system, beyond the initial goals.

Hebben we hier een Nederlandse term voor?

Explanation:
Uit je omschrijving maak ik op dat je feature creep bedoelt. Klopt dat? Als dat zo is, denk ik niet dat er een Nederlandse term voor bestaat. Een voorstel is om dit te vertalen met functievirus, maar dat is mijn interpretatie van de term. Mocht iemand met een bestaande vertaling komen, is dat zeker beter ...
Succes.
