Put the (tin) lid on something/things British old-fashioned informal verb phrase
Put an end to a bad experience or situation in an especially negative way, usually a series of unpleasant events

To put the tin lid on this disagreement, she decided to withdraw from the project.
Do you see anything wrong?
