A stalled project is (or at least, many of us treat it as) a project which has no actions assigned to it, and thus may require some further thinking to move it along (or perhaps you completed it and forgot to check it off).

If my project has an action assigned to it, even if that action is in the future, I don't have any planning and thinking to do to move it forward, I just need to wait for that action to reappear when appropriate.

Such a project isn't stalled, it's exactly where it's supposed to be, and I don't need to be reminded about it every time I review my list of projects which actually *do* need more thinking.
