agree  Marcelo González: Sí, 'cuesta arriba' para 'uphill' y se podría omitir el referente, que puede ser una lucha (tal y como había sugerido yo) reto o una tarea (como sugiere Adoración). La opción que más se asemeja al texto fuente incluye las palabras 'cuesta arriba'. Saludos

A estas alturas, post-grading, esto va más que nada para el glosario :-)

uphill = cuesta arriba

an uphill climb = una lucha, un reto/desafío, una tarea cuesta arriba

... puede que el mismo/propio equipo, por su desempeño y manera de aproximarse a los problemas, tenga que encarar una lucha más cuesta arriba en esta nueva normalidad
