Wasted time (7)
I believe the answer is:
dallied
'wasted time' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for dallied that I've seen before include "Dialled up, having delayed" , "moved slowly" , "Idled, loitered" , "Dawdled or wasted time" , "Hung about" .)
