Put off and fed up, having made mistake (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deferred

'put off' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fed up having made mistake' is the wordplay.
'fed up' becomes 'def' ('fed' going up in a down clue).
'having' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'made mistake' becomes 'erred' (I've seen this before).
'def'+'erred'='DEFERRED'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for deferred that I've seen before include "Put back" , "Postponed" , "Put off to a later time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
