Tie up loose ends
The expression "Tie up the loose ends" means to complete or finish tasks, activities, or projects by addressing the remaining or unresolved details or issues. It implies taking care of the final, often small or miscellaneous, tasks to ensure that everything is in order or that a project is fully concluded.
For example, if you have been working on a complex project and there are a few remaining tasks or loose ends to be addressed before it is considered finished, you would "tie up the loose ends" by completing those tasks or resolving any outstanding issues. This phrase is commonly used in both professional and everyday contexts to describe the process of bringing closure and ensuring that nothing is left unfinished or unresolved.
e.g. Our team has lots of grounds to cover and cannot afford any loose ends.
