low priority
Not pressing now
Low priority describes something that can wait—a task, issue, or item ranked below others in urgency or importance.
The phrase appears constantly in workplace and project management contexts: I'll get to those low priority tickets after the critical ones.
Something marked low priority isn't necessarily unimportant, just less pressing than competing demands.
