retrasar/prevenir/retardar
Yo creo que tienes razón. Prevenir puede ser la mejor opción, si bien put off tiene otros significados, dado el contexto retrasar o prevenir son adecuados.

posponer
Usually when someone "puts off" something, they're postponing it until later. But in this case, hopefully the meaning of "put off" has a better meaning, such as those already suggested, of preventing rather than delaying. More context is needed for the exact meaning of the term in English.
Example sentence:
He put off fixing the roof until the weather got cooler.
Something went wrong...
