Another word for "postpone"

The Eurozone has just decided to accept the Greek proposals for reform,

thus extending the 172 billion Euro bailout by a further 4 months.

Delaying or postponing a decision or deadline is frequently referred to

by analysts and in the media as

“Kicking the can down the road.”

 Listen out for the expression next time you tune in to TV

 or play a clip on a business website.
