When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Halted/vetoed construction work
https://www.housingtoday.co.uk/news/four-fifths-of-uk-houseb...
stop work order, stop construction order
it is an order issued by the relevant authority once any serious event threathens se safety of workers or surrounding buildings.
Construction is thus put on hold until such measures can be taken to remedy the cause of the order or, in extreme cases, construction llicenses are completely withdrawn .
City building officials told Channel news that a stop work order would be issued shortly afterward.

If this helps :-)
Mas uma obra/construção embargada (pelo menos em PT-PT) diz respeito à suspensão, paragem das obras quando a obra já está a decorrer. São, portanto, coisas diferentes.
