English term or phrase: yellow to the target
"...were 12% less than 2016 performance and we were yellow to the target".
Proprio non so come rendere questo modo di dire 'to be yellow to' - che significa, avere luce gialla (semaforo)?
Dal contesto sembra che la cosa sia positiva, cioè che ci si sta avvicinando all'obiettivo, o che lo si sia già raggiunto.
Come posso risolvere in italiano?
GRAZIE
