Put into someday maybe. Or just put the thing that is what is now blocking this project as the next action with a note of waiting for and set the context to waiting for.

For example, I have a project to burn brush piles. It was active and we just burned one pile. But now if I update the project the next action is "waiting for L to repair brush rake and pile more brush" We can't continue burning brush until it's piled and the brush rake on the tractor is broken so that's now the waiting for.

My own someday maybe list in Omnifocus is sorted by area of focus. So I have S/M things for each of my major areas. In OF I just select the project and change it to on hold to move it. At weekly review time I scrub my active list by moving the on-hold projects into a separate folder under each AOF that is labeled "area" Someday So I have an area of focus Sheep Work and within that I have a Sheep Someday for all my potential sheep projects. An example right now is make black wool show halters for sheep. A few months ago it was active and I was spinning black yarn to make rope. Got the yarn spun but now things are too busy so the actual making of the rope didn't happen and I know I won't get to that project until late summer so I put it on hold for now.
