overdone
{At the same time, there are those who think the protests are overdone since Norway is a rich country and should be able to afford high fuel prices in the service of a good cause.}
Could anyone give another word for ''overdone''?
My guess would be ''wasted effort or unprofitable.''
Thank you in advance,

It's not a word I would use in these contexts. "That roast beef is overdone" or "She has overdone the amount of exercise she takes each day" are more likely uses.

Hi again,
Very generally speaking, the idea is that something you do is overdone, ie done too much.
Thus, it sounds natural that protests are overdone because the underlying idea is that people are performing the action of protesting. There's an underlying action.
It doesn't sound quite so right, to my ear, to say that concerns are overdone, because it's harder to d
