Hold it on

He discussed the project with you a few months ago. Due to various reasons, I hold it on. But I want to resume/move forward with it.

Please check the sentence and "resume/move forward".

Is "hold it on" a suitable phrasal verb for temporarily stopping the decision or discussion? or please suggest any phrasal verb suitably.
