shelve:

Figuratively, the term means to place something on a shelf for storage with a possible intent to remove it when wanted or needed, for example, to shelve a project. The example indicates that the project becomes inactive. Something shelved may be abandoned. A project may be shelved, meaning that it is ended while leaving the door open to reactive it again in the future. It may be said that a project is shelved because it is dead. Take a quick look at how an enterprise development project begins. Such a project managed with feasibility analysis throughout its three stages is liable be shelved at anytime.
