cliché An act or plan whose ambition overreaches its capability, resulting in or potentially leading to difficulty or failure.

🗣Look, I'm happy to help you guys out, but I'm not willing be the primary investor in your invention—that's just a bridge too far.Apparently, signing an A-list player is just a bridge too far for this team! They'd rather wallow in their mediocrity, I guess.
