paralyzation of the matter; (BrE) the matter grinding to a halt


Explanation:
Grind to a halt is in Merriam-Webster, though - from the blank looks I've received - I'm unsure its use is widespread in the US of A / Canada.

Example sentence(s):
  • Without more money, work on the project will soon grind to a halt.
