logistical issues

Planning and execution difficulties

Logistical issues are practical problems with organizing, coordinating, or moving things—scheduling conflicts, transportation breakdowns, supply shortages, communication failures.

The phrase often appears as a diplomatic way to explain why something didn't happen as planned: We had to cancel due to logistical issues.

It covers the unglamorous mechanics of making plans work.
