To overspend is to spend more money than you should — more than you have, more than you planned, or more than you can afford. A person can overspend at the shops. A government or a company can overspend on a building, a war, or a project. You overspend; you overspent last month; you overspent on the trip. It is a bit more formal than "spend too much" or "blow your money," so you meet it in news about budgets and in money advice. In British English especially, overspend is also a noun: "a two-million-pound overspend" means they went that far over the budget. Though actually, in daily talk many people just say "I spent too much" and save overspend for bills, plans, and official numbers. It is not the same as waste: you can overspend on something you truly needed, and still have spent more than you could bear.
