AFAIK, Groups within Projects cannot themselves be put On Hold. Two suggestions come to mind here.
A) Create an appropriate action that has a Waiting On or SomeOne or other such context as the "gatekeeper" task to start the group.
Project A
- Group 1 (sequential)
-- send notice to start this work group [email] -- COMPLETED
-- get email reply confirming start [Waiting On]
-- start this work group [computer]
In this regard, you also might search for the Complete and Await Reply (or equivalent) Applescript that can convert the "send notice ..." task to completed, create a copy as uncompleted, and move the context of the copy to Waiting For (or equivalent).
B) Divide the project as a Folder with groups becoming Projects in their own right. Then, put the Project (formerly the Group) "On Hold".
