[Tex/LaTex] Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph error

line-breakingspacingwarnings

I have the following source code to display a information in a specific format:

\newcommand{\headerrow}[2] {
    \begin{tabular*}{\linewidth}{l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}r}
        #1 & #2
    \end{tabular*}
}

\newcommand{\projectinfobullet}[4] 
{
    \item
    \headerrow{\textbf{#1}}{\textbf{#2}}
    \headerrow{\emph{#3}}{\emph{#4}}
}
\begin{itemize}
    \parskip=0.1em
    \projectinfobullet{A}{B}{C}{D}  %49
    \begin{itemize*}
        \item XXX   %51
        \item YYY
         \item ZZZ
    \end{itemize*}
\end{itemize}

I get the error:
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 49--51

Don't forget % at ends of lines:

\newcommand{\projectinfobullet}[4]

Note that the immediate cause of the warning (not an error) was the spurious white space, but the definition

\begin{tabular*}{\linewidth}{l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}r}
    \raggedleft{#1} & \raggedright{#2}

makes no sense, \raggedleft does not take an argument so \raggedleft{#1} does not set #1 ragged, it sets all the remaining document or current group, in this case the group ends at the & so no harm is done, but nothing is set ragged, an l column is a single line context, like \mbox so paragraph settings like \raggedright have no effect, just use

\begin{tabular*}{\linewidth}{l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}r}
    #1&#2%
