To delay doing something until later.
خلفية ثقافية
The 'Långbänk' (Long Bench) phenomenon. Swedes often prefer to delay decisions to ensure everyone is on board, leading to the phrase 'hamna i långbänk' (to end up on the long bench), which is a more negative version of 'skjuta upp på framtiden'. In Swedish meetings, 'skjuta upp på framtiden' is often used as a polite way to say 'this isn't a priority right now' without being confrontational. Students often use this phrase when talking about their 'uppsats' (thesis). Procrastination is a common topic of humor in Swedish universities.
The Stress Test
If you stress 'SKJUTA', you're talking about shooting a gun. If you stress 'UPP', you're talking about time. Always stress the particle!
Don't over-use 'på framtiden'
If you have a specific date, just say 'skjuta upp till [datum]'. Adding 'på framtiden' makes it sound like you'll never do it.

No, you can't 'skjuta upp en person'. You can only postpone events, tasks, or decisions.
The opposite would be 'tidigarelägga' (to move earlier) or 'ta tag i' (to deal with immediately).
