'unforeseen drawbacks' is the definition.
'catches' can be an answer for 'drawbacks' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'unforeseen' bit.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for catches that I've seen before include "Snags; door-fastenings" , "Hidden drawbacks" , "Drawbacks, difficulties not readily evident" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
