German term or phrase: ins Stocken geraten
"Es gibt zwar Bemühungen, ein modernes Integrationssystem auf einzusetzen, aber diese sind stark ins Stocken geraten, seit der Hersteller dieser Software nicht mehr existiert."

put more or less on hold/stagnated considerably
Explanation:
Stocken discribes a state between a very strong delay and a complete stop.

In Duden, Die sinn- und sachverwandten Wörter. 2. Aufl. states: stocken, stagnieren, erlahmen, versiegen, versanden, versickern, etwas klingt aus / geht aus, stecken bleiben, ins Stocken geraten, sich spießen (österr.), etwas ist festgefahren; beenden; weiter.

So a direct translation would be "stagnate", however judging from the context I'd opt for "put more or less on hold".

Cheers
