Suspended, in abeyance (2,3)
I believe the answer is:
on ice
I believe this is a double definition.
'suspended' is the first definition.
(to put something 'on ice' is to postpone it)
'in abeyance' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for on ice that I've seen before include "Where one might find slippers" , "Awaiting decision" , "Suspended; chilled" , "Halted for a while" , "Shelved" .)
