Hold up progress, stymie (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stonewall

This clue is a double definition.

'hold up progress' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stymie' is the second definition.
(I know that stonewall is a type of stymie)

(Other definitions for stonewall that I've seen before include "delay in parliament" , "Refuse to co-operate" , "Play to defend" , "Stand firm" , "Delay or block (a proposal's) progress" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
