Es un placer poder colaborar con mis colegas. Te dejo dos enlaces de España en donde aparece utilizada esta frase nominal, supongo que puede utilizarse perfectamente en el español europeo.

agree  Juan Arturo Blackmore Zerón: Opino que la palabra dificultades es mas castiza que "obstáculos" un cognato de "obstacles"
