backload
Delay until later
Backload means to concentrate weight, effort, or obligations toward the end rather than the beginning.
A backloaded schedule has most of its demands near the finish.
Backloaded payments defer costs to later periods: The contract backloads the bonuses into the final year.
The opposite is frontload.
