What is a "hold-up"?

A hold-up is a delay or interruption that stops something from continuing or progressing as planned. It can happen in various situations, such as when a process is slowed down due to an obstacle or an unexpected issue. For example, a hold-up can occur in traffic when cars are stuck, or in a project when something causes work to stop temporarily. This type of delay can make things take longer to complete or cause a pause in the usual flow of events.
