How to say "Postponement" in Japanese

When translating "postponement" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 延期 and えんき. In Japanese, 延期 (えんき (enki)) is typically associated with "postponement; deferral" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Refers to postponing or deferring an event, meeting, or plan to a later date. Can be used with する as a verb. On the other hand, えんき (えんき (enki)) maps to "postponement, deferment" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents The act of delaying an event or scheduled item to a later time. Often used with 「する」as a verb.. A literal translation of "postponement" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
