The word for today is…

adhoc (adverb, adjective):

*adverb*:  
for the particular end or case at hand without consideration of wider application

*adjective*:  
1a : concerned with a particular end or purpose  
b : formed or used for specific or immediate problems or needs  
2 : fashioned from whatever is immediately available : improvised

Source : [Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ad%20hoc?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : Ad hoc literally means “for this” in Latin, and in English this almost always means “for this specific purpose.” Issues that come up in the course of a project often require immediate, ad hoc solutions. An ad hoc investigating committee is authorized to look into a matter of limited scope. An ad hoc ruling by an athletic council is intended to settle a particular case, and is not meant to serve as a model for later rulings. If an organization deals with too many things on an ad hoc basis, it may mean someone hasn’t been doing enough planning.
