Is there a (Japanese) linguistic term for okurigana omission (cases when 問い合わせ is written as 問合せ, etc.)? If not then what would be a concise way to refer to the phenomena (in Japanese)?
Answer
Being a non-linguist, I have no idea if this term is used in linguistics, but our 文化庁{ぶんかちょう} (Agency for Cultural Affairs) calls it 「許容{きょよう}」 ("tolerance").

To refer to the phenomenon, you could use a phrase like:
「誤読{ごどく}の可能性{かのうせい}が低{ひく}い(単{たん})語{ご}の送{おく}り仮名{がな}の省略{しょうりゃく}」
That would be understood by all native-speakers, I promise.
