Kick ... into the long grass 搁置、暂停
    2020-02-11  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: When will you release the new app?

B: We have decided to kick the app release date into the long grass until we can all agree on a marketing plan for it.

Note: This idiom means “to halt or stall something, especially a plan or project, so as to postpone having to make a decision or action regarding it.” It’s primarily heard in the U.K. If an issue or problem is kicked into the long grass, it is pushed aside and hidden in the hope that it will be forgotten or ignored. In rugby and football, if a ball is kicked into touch (the area outside the lines that mark the sides of the playing field), play stops.
