Put something on ice 搁置、推迟
    2021-01-12  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: When will their new hospital be built?

B: They have put the plans on ice because of the economic situation.

Note: This term literally means “to put something in a cold place to preserve it, as of food or drink.” Metaphorically, it means “to take no action on something for a period of time, postpone something.” If you put something such as a plan or project on ice, you stop it happening for a period of time. For example: My plans for going to the United States are put on ice for the moment.
