This is probably the more common use of the term “overthinking” than your first paragraph. You’re putting more thought and analysis into something than that something supports. Further analysis and data will lead to not just delays (your first thought), but worse outcomes, as you’ll start trying to override your instincts with inappropriately-weighted data.
Where to eat as a group is a good example. You can easily overthink this even if you have plenty of time, and end up going someplace you’re modeling as the center of a groups desires rather than someplace the group actually has fun at.
