na-adjective
convenient; expedient; makeshift
Describes a solution or measure taken for practical convenience, often implying it is temporary or not ideal. Used in formal or written contexts.
それはあくまで便宜的な措置に過ぎない。
That is merely a makeshift measure.
便宜的な方法で問題を解決した。

暫定的 explicitly means 'provisional' or 'tentative', emphasizing a temporary arrangement. 便宜的 focuses on practical convenience rather than the temporary nature.
Compound of 便宜 (convenience, expediency) + 的 (-like, -ish). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the word follows a common pattern for forming adjectival nouns.
