logistical hurdle

Practical planning barrier

A logistical hurdle is a practical obstacle involving coordination, planning, or resource management that must be overcome to accomplish something.

The phrase emphasizes operational difficulties rather than conceptual ones: Finding childcare was the main logistical hurdle to attending the conference.

Unlike a theoretical problem, logistical hurdles involve tangible constraints—schedules, transportation, supplies, personnel.
