Task 1 should be finished in order to start working on task 2.
Task 2 is not done yet.



I want to convey we haven't even finished task 1 so task 2 is indefinitely delayed.



I do not exactly know but I think there is a phrase for that.



Can anybody put this in a format similar to -




Forget about task 2 even task 1 is not finished
