untouched
Not touched, used, or changed; left in its original state.

The word is made up of the prefix 'un-' (not) and 'angetastet' (touched/affected). 'Angetastet' is the past participle of 'antasten' (to touch something, to call into question). So 'unangetastet' literally means 'not touched' or 'not called into question'.
Seine Ersparnisse für die Rente blieben unangetastet.
His savings for retirement remained untouched.
'Unangetastet' is very often combined with the verb 'bleiben' (to remain) to express that a state continues. This construction works for both the literal and the figurative meaning.
Sein Mittagessen blieb heute unangetastet.
His lunch remained untouched today.
You can recognize the literal meaning from the fact that it refers to concrete, physical things that can be touched or used up. Typical examples are food, money, supplies, or a budget.
Trotz der langen Party blieb der teure Wein unangetastet im Regal stehen.
Despite the long party, the expensive wine remained untouched on the shelf.
In the figurative meaning, 'unangetastet' (untouched) is used with abstract concepts. Common combinations are 'die Würde des Menschen bleibt unangetastet' (human dignity remains untouched), 'ein Recht bleibt unangetastet' (a right remains untouched), or 'ein Status bleibt unangetastet' (a status remains untouched).

unchanged
'unverändert' and 'unangetastet' can both mean that something has not been changed. 'unverändert' says neutrally that a condition has stayed the same. 'unangetastet' sounds stronger: it means that something has not been touched, not used, or deliberately not changed. This can also be meant figuratively, for example with rights or a status. 'unverändert' fits many normal situations. 'unangetastet' fits when you want to emphasize that something has been protected, respected, or left completely alone.
