Corporate executives love using the word pause to allow the possibility for a resume. It also makes it not a failure since it never finishes negatively: it is paused.
It's word gymnastics.
There’s a word for that too. “Start”. It’s what w you can do after you stop.
Well, there's also "Restart," which shows that it was started at some point, but then stopped.
