powers that be
It's a reference to the authorities which doesn't want to be explicit. I was thinking of a cultural equivalent...Corridors of power ? to keep the image of a physical space?

the powers that be
Just a suggestion. I originally thought of "realms of power" but not sure it fits in this context.
Example sentence:
..."inadequacy of the decisions taken by the powers that be" or "of the decision-making process of the powers that be".
