--explanation--

Pushback refers to opposition or disagreement with a plan or suggestion. For example:

  • We got some pushback from the client about the new design. - The client didn't fully agree or had objections to the design.

  • Expect pushback if we change the deadline again. - People may resist or complain if the date changes.
