Pull the plug: idioms for stopping a project
To pull the plug on something means to stop a project or plan for good, usually because it isn't working. For a plan or event that hasn't happened yet, say "call it off." For an urgent stop, say "shut it down." If you only want a pause, say "Let's put it on hold."

Die Sätze einzeln erklärt
-
You need to call it off. So wirkt der Satz: Calm and casual
Use this to tell someone to cancel a plan or an event, such as a party, a meeting, or a trip. Don't use it for something that is already running, like a machine or a website.
“You need to call it off.”
-
Pull the plug. So wirkt der Satz: Firm, final decision
Use this when someone decides to stop a project for good, often after time or money has gone into it. Add "on" before the thing you stop: pull the plug on the app. It sounds final, so don't use it for a short break.
“Pull the plug, dude.”
-
Shut it down. So wirkt der Satz: Strong, urgent order
Use this when stopping something must happen right now, such as a machine, a system, or an operation. It sounds like an order, so it can be too strong for a polite meeting.
“Shut it down, doctor Selvig.”
-
Let's put it on hold. So wirkt der Satz: Neutral, temporary pause
Use this when you want to stop for now and maybe start again later. It's the safe choice in a meeting when the decision isn't final yet.
-
We're scrapping the project. So wirkt der Satz: Direct, a bit blunt
Use this to say a plan or project is completely canceled and the work will not be used. It's common in offices but sounds harder than "put it on hold."
-
Let's call it a day. So wirkt der Satz: Friendly, relaxed
Use this to stop working for today, not to cancel a project. It's a good way to end a long work session with coworkers or friends.

We decided to pull the plug of the project.So passt es We decided to pull the plug on the project.
The idiom uses "on" before the thing you stop. "Pull the plug of" is not a natural English pattern.

The rain started, so they called off it.So passt es The rain started, so they called it off.
When the object is a pronoun like "it," put it between the verb and "off." The same rule applies to "shut it down," not "shut down it."
-
Noch nicht passend
Let's call it a day on the whole project.So passt es Let's pull the plug on the whole project.
"Call it a day" means stop working for today. To end a project for good, use "pull the plug" or "scrap it."
