English term (edited):
to remain elusive
rester maigre
Depends very much on how you choose to translate 'progress' here; I don't think we can say that there has been no progress at all — it's just pretty rare and hard to find.
I wanted to suggest 'rare', but I think it would be necessary to re-word a bit for that to work?
