Actually, "root cause analysis" is the process of finding the single cause of multiple failures.

A "cause-effect diagram" is a picture of how various causes affect the state of a system. The states are shown as nodes and the causes label the arcs between various states. This kind of diagram is similar to that for any finite state automata.

Whether a project is on hold or not does not seem to be related to either of the above two concepts. Perhaps you could make your question clearer?
