set back

Hello,

     How are you? May I ask the meaning of "set back" in this sentence : Please confirm the set back schedules to your administrative areas are compatible with your operations.

         Thank you very much.

Hi! This sentence is a little confusing, but "set back" usually means an obstacle that changes your plans by making them take longer. For example, "We had hoped to be married in July, but because of some set backs we won't be able to get married until September." Perhaps in this sentence, the speaker is referring to new schedules that have been made because of some delay in operations. Does that help?

Yes. That may be right as they announce that there will be electrical outage when they renovate the electrical system in the building. Thank you very much.
