Swedish term or phrase: sitter på kraven
Hello

in:

Beställare är XXX men XXX-IT sitter på kraven för teknikområde Tele.

I'm not sure if "sitter på kraven" has the same meaning as "to sit on" in English (to block, delay, not do the work)

or can it mean something else?

Thanks

I don't think there is any hidden sense of "delay" in this expression. It's day-to-day jargon. Examples: Han äger frågan. De sitter på kraven.

have not yet finalised the requirements


Explanation:
You would need to look at the wider context - is this an excuse for a delay in completing the spec because XXX-IT are dilatory? In which case this seems the most likely meaning.

Alternatively it might just mean that XXX-IT are responsible for [drafting] the requirements.
