顺延 (shùn yán) — to be postponed accordingly, to be rescheduled to a later date (due to stated reasons)
Definition
顺延 means an event is pushed to a later date because of a specific cause (weather, low turnout, etc.), not a personal delay. Unlike 延期 (extending a deadline) or 拖延 (procrastinating), it implies an automatic, cause-based reschedule.
