[Vocabulary] Spoil a plan

Q: I know that John's plan to create a web site was demolished by some jealousy people.

Please help me with the appropriate vocabulary that can be replaced by was demolished in this sentence. I want to know a singled word for demolishing or spoiling a plan.

Thanks in advance.:lol:

Was destroyed
Was derailed


Also: jealous people, not jealousy people.

Please help me with a common word or slang for destroy a plan by sabotage. I want to know the slang for sabotaging a plan by backstabing.:-D

"Backstabbing" is different from "sabotage".

Check them both in a dictionary and then come back to us if you think you can give us an example of someone "sabotaging a plan by backstabbing".

Please bear in mind that there isn't a slang or informal term for absolutely everything in English.
