slow walking
Unhurried pace forward
Slow walking is a deliberate delay tactic, especially in legislative or bureaucratic contexts, where someone technically complies with a process while dragging it out as long as possible.
A committee might slow walk a nomination to avoid a vote: The agency has been slow walking the investigation for months.
Unlike a complete block, slow walking maintains the appearance of progress while ensuring none occurs.
