My client is keeping things up in the air and is not able to make the decisions right away. Time is money. We can�t wait. How do you say it in English naturally?
Can I say �We can�t afford to spend time waiting for things that are still up in the air�? Thanks. |

Yes, or, "We can't spend time waiting for things that are up in the air."

Thanks CP. I really appreciate your perseverance and patience helping people here at Help Center.
Can I also say "We can't afford to be left up in the air"? Thanks. |

Yes, that would be fine.
(Oh, and you are welcome. I usually don't reply to a thank you because then you never know when to stop. Thanks. You're welcome. Don't mention it. I won't. Then don't. I didn't. Yes, you did. Well, but only because you did. No, that was you. You too. Okay then. All right. Well, thanks. Okay, don't mention it. . . . .)
