English term or phrase: to raise the bar
How to translate the idiom "to raise the bar" in Lithuanian?

Definition: to make a task a little more difficult. (As with raising the bar in high jumping or pole vaulting.)

E.g. Just as I was getting accustomed to my job, the manager raised the bar and I had to perform even better.
