Intentionally making something take longer.
Contexto cultural
In local government offices (Taluk offices), 'Izhuthadippu' is often a coded way of suggesting that a bribe (Lanjam) might speed things up, though this is changing with digitalization. The 'Izhuthadippu' of the legal system is a major theme in movies like 'Jai Bhim', where the hero fights against the system dragging its feet on justice. When invited to a wedding you don't want to attend, saying 'I'll try to come' repeatedly is a form of social Izhuthadippu to avoid saying 'No'.
