Мы со своей стороны ведем работу с заказчиком по продлению срока отгрузки и срока действия аккредитива, но это не поможет, если Ваши сотрудники продолжат топтаться на месте.
We are working with the Customer to extend the time of shipment and prong the validity of L/C. But this won’t help the situation, if your staff keeps on making no headway.

to mark time
From the drill command "Mark time!", meaning lifting your legs and putting them down again but staying in the same place. Can be used metaphorically in cases like this.
