"been done for" is correct and can be used in written English.
It is a common phrase that means something has been completed or finished, often with a negative connotation. It is typically used in past tense to describe actions that have already happened. Example: "The project had been done for weeks before anyone noticed the mistake." This sentence means that the project was completed a while ago, but it was not until recently that someone noticed a mistake that was made during its completion. Another example: "I can't believe you've been done for speeding again." This sentence means the person has gotten caught for speeding multiple times and it is a recurring issue.
