That one is unfamiliar to me. If you can supply me with some context I might be able to figure it out.

If something has a "knock-on effect", it means that it has a "secondary or incidental effect" on future events.

I've got it! Synonyms: consequence, effect, event, issue, outcome, result, upshot. (It's a British expression.)
