KATE說由於技術問題, 她現階段對這個項目束手無策.
(1) Kate said she no [further] action could be taken for [the] project due to [the X] technical problem.
(note: time/place references change in indirect speech; this-->the)
(2) Kate said there [was] no follow up action for [the] project because of technical problem.
(note: beware of the tense of the indirect speech within the that-clause)
(3) Due to the technical problem, Kate said no action could be done for the project.
(grammar correct, but the meaning a bit different from 1. & 2.; "due to ..." was not part of Kate's speech)
(4) Kate said she [was] unable to do anything for [the] project due to [the X] technical problem.
More examples:
(5) Kate said she was incapable/unable/impotent to proceed with the project (at that stage) due to technical problem.
