On a recent training course I heard several people talk about someone having a “lapse attitude”, or suggesting that someone may have “been a bit lapse” in their approach to conducting a task.
If someone is “a bit lapse” in their approach, they may well have lapsed from the expected or previously attained standard, making this form quite apt.
