I believe the answer is:

fools errand

'fruitless undertaking' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for fools errand that I've seen before include "Wild goose chase" , "Fruitless enterprise" , "Unsuccessful enterprise" , "Fruitless undertaking" , "Fruitless task" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the USA Today and The Mirror.
