scheinbar in Frage steht is apparently in doubt

Explanation:
Or "in question". Might be a `kinder, gentler´ phrasing. "Scheinbar" usually suggests a false impression, which is probably not intended.

Reference: In Frage stehen:

Reference information:
In my opinion it means rather "to be questionable" than "to be at risk". In other words, we are not talking about at common goal that may be at risk. Actually, we don't know if this common goal even exists.
