set in stone


colloquial description of an item (doc-ment, schedule, contract, etc.) that cannot be altered without great effort (and possibly some destructiveness) for one reason or another.

probably derived from how the ten commandments (exodus 22:- in your bible) were produced on stone tablets, as it requires effort to modify a doc-ment that is etched into stone.

see also set in jello for a good opposite.
once you sign the contract, the terms are set in stone.
