temporary fix
Short-term patch
A temporary fix is a solution meant to address a problem for now, not permanently.
The implication is that a proper repair or resolution will follow: We patched the roof as a temporary fix until we can afford to replace it.
In practice, temporary fixes often become permanent through neglect or budget constraints.
