What's the best translation for trasnochada?

Question

I keep running across this adjective in the newspapers, usually in reference to one group disdaining another group's idea. Here's an example:

El equipo de Gobierno que preside Juan Siguero considera que la queja de APB está "trasnochada" y es "anacrónica" y "oportunista" porque quiere vincular "un importante proyecto cultural y educativo" con "la revisión de la Memoria Histórica y la búsqueda de la división entre los ciudadanos".

The dictionaries aren't very helpful. I get the impression it means something like "worn out", but I don't know the exact English translation.

Answer 1

I think it means "outdated" and the ending must fit the gender of what it is describing.

Answer 2

perhaps tired and outdated

This I'm guessing from the DRAE entry

Falto de novedad y de oportunidad.

Answer 3

I'd say "outmoded". From my dictionary Manuel Seco:

trasnochado. 1. [...] 2. Que ha perdido actualidad o vigencia.
