Move the goalposts, translated

A three-card decoder for “move the goalposts”: the shifting target, the meeting-room version, and a clearer owner-and-date sentence.

A target changes after everyone has started working toward it. In office language, the finish line gets a small administrative relocation.

The clearer version names the new target, the owner, and the date. This is less mysterious and gives the calendar something to blame.
