Copy badly executed procedure (9)

I believe the answer is:

reproduce

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'copy' is the definition.
(I know that copy is a more specific form of reproduce)

'badly executed procedure' is the wordplay.
'procedure' anagrams to 'REPRODUCE'.
However, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reproduce that I've seen before include "Duplicate" , "Create offspring" , "To propagate" , "Make a child" , "[DOUBLE]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
