I'm looking for a word that defines that something is out of our control in a business sense. For example, we can't control the postal delivery time, so it is… (out of our control).
Needs to be ONE word, please.
EDIT – not uncontrollable. It is also not chaotic, like "the children are out of control".
EDIT2: – to further explain, in my thesis I have a number of dependencies. Most of them our company can control as we manage them. However, a few of these dependencies we are not able to control because they are managed by someone else. So I'm looking to see if there is a word that can explain this other than saying "dependencies that are out of our control".

If you are writing a contract, I think there are multi-word possibilities your attorneys can supply, but the one word I can think of closest to what you want is exogenous.
