Invade, exceed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overrun

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'invade' is the first definition.
(I know that invade can be written as overrun)

'exceed' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for overrun that I've seen before include "Exceed (allowed cost/time)" , "UN rover (anag.)" , "Go past" , "Exceed (estimated cost)" , "Exceed time allowed, or spread across and injure (7)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
