Term or phrase for simply moving a problem from one area to another
I'm trying to come up with (and coming up short) a term or expression that is used when one is simply moving a problem from one area to another (instead of solving it).
Something similar to;
robbing peter to pay paul
... in the sense that it's a zero-sum game, but speaking more to moving issues instead to taking resources.
Solution 1:
Here is a systems person who has written a piece and calls this "shifting the burden" in an organizational setting.
SHIFTING THE BURDEN: MOVING BEYOND A REACTIVE ORIENTATION [sic]
shifting the burden aka displacing or shifting a problem from one thing to another
Solution 2:
The phrase passing the buck comes to mind.
It's when someone shifts a problem to someone else rather than solving it.
Which is also how the phrase the buck stops here was derived from.
