last-mile
The phrase "临门一脚" in Chinese often alludes to the final, crucial step or action in a given situation, much like the moment in sports (especially soccer) where a goal is almost scored but requires one last effort.
Translating it as "last-mile" is indeed appropriate in contexts like technology and logistics. The term "last-mile" in English frequently refers to the final delivery segment from a distribution center to the end consumer, or metaphorically, the last step of a process or task. Therefore, in this light, translating "临门一脚" as "last-mile" is a valid choice.
