I wonder if the description is what they wanted or was a mistyping of something like “a spell you already cast from your spell slots” instead, as for the Wizard itself means the same.
RAW means that you can use it for casting spells from prepared archetypes (i.e. Cleric), but not from any spontaneous caster archetype.
I could have been mistaken, but I would have been presuming that the Drained Bonded Item could only cast the spells from spells cast out of that class' spell slots, not ones gathered by other classes abilities gathered by multiclassing archetypes.
So I wouldn't have been planning on granting them the ability to use prepared caster slots from archetypes, and wouldn't have distinguished between prepared vs. spontaneous archetypes.

As it is currently written, Drain Bonded Item doesn't mention being restricted to only Wizard spell slots. So it sounds like it could be used on any prepared spell slots that the Wizard character happens to have.
It isn't really a balance problem either way it is ruled. If used on archetype spell slots, then it is going to be lower level spells than you could get from the Wizard spell slots.
It is strange that you couldn't use it to re-cast a spell from a spontaneous spell slot that you got from an archetype though. But that also isn't really a balance problem. Just a minor annoyance problem that a particular player may experience.
