perception of lack of progress

Lack of something is defined as the fact that something is not available or that there is not enough of it (Cambridge dictionary), in this case, it refers to progress. I find this to be more natural and concise in Spanish than the options offered.
Example sentence:

The idea gets voiced a lot nowadays, because people want to find a reason for what they might perceive as their lack of progress. Times,Sunday Times

Given this backdrop, why has there been such a lack of progress in bringing forward alternatives into the regulatory arena? From the Cambridge English Corpus

a sense that there has been no progression /improvement/development/advance

Because the phrase is ´´no mejora´´, I think it´s important to think about the author´s voice. He/ she sees or perceives that there has been no progress or improvement. I would keep the ´´no´´ in to make it sound as strong in English as it is in the Spanish.

I also think that ´´percepcion´´ is more like when you get a sense of something, given the context.

I hope this helps!
