In a field entitled "作業くずれ項目", in a document evaluating worker performance issues. I'm trying to think of a natural-sounding way to translate this, as "work breakdown item" sounds awfully translatese. Any thoughts? Thanks :D :D :D

Operational failure
I'd go with "operational failure" or "breakdown". It works better with "item" and 崩れ is used more broadly than "collapse" in English.

uncompleted job
As David said, it is indeed an operational failure but I think it has to be more specific.
In this context, this field looks to me for an auditor to specify the name of the job/work that has caused that operational failure.

defective performance (factor)
"defective performance" is found more commonly in contract law, rather than manufacturing /service provision specs.
Defined as:
(Complete or) incomplete (partial) performance that does not fully satisfy the requirements (of the contract)
Based on Lara's more detailed run down, would tend to treat "項目" as a 'cause/factor'
Using "performance' would enable using the same 'rating label' for any task item to be defined.

And then the file continues to list actions like 見る, 取る, 運ぶ, 置く. Then, under the individual categories of these actions, it goes into problems that can occur with the work done, causes of these problems, criteria by which one judges whether that was the cause of the problem, etc. Then, there's space to fill in possible countermeasures. I hope that helps :D
